And you've seen the time card of a legislator personally? Before you assume that state workers work more hours in a year, double-check your so-called "fact." State workers, full-time work 38.5 hours. A legislator also works year-round, with increased hours during the 90-day session and if applicable, special sessions. I personally know several very hard working legislators that put in 60-80 hour weeks easily during session, and some continue that pace even during non-session season. State workers and their unions, have successfully made being a state employee very profitable. If you are so angry, put the blame on unions, not the legislators whose service and salary are controlled by state laws.
