And I bet he's not asking the taxpayers to 'foot' the bill either. Good for him!
ReplyDeleteLawmakers get an allowance for local offices if they so choose to have one. And they should have one. Too many don't realize (esp local) that it's a 365 day a year job not just the few months they are in session.
ReplyDeleteI "get" where the first comment is going and if a law maker can get vacant space going unused by the county than that's a savings to all of us.
ReplyDeleteState lawmakers should have local offices. Not all constituents feel comfortable calling one at home. When not in session a law maker should be sitting in a office in a public area.
11:37 And I bet you are so WRONG! Local congressional offices are paid for by taxpayers. MD state senators and delegates also get a stipend for a local office.
