MA Legislature is Part Time, Gets Full-time Pay

The kind of people who run for office these days makes it questionable that anything can be changed for the better. US has a career politician class, contrary to the ideas of the founders of the nation. No citizen legislators, who have jobs to return to. Many elected officials had no job other than politician. Aides graduate from college and go to work for politicians then run for office. The Spending Other People's Money Society controls state legislatures and the US Congress.
