Why so upset? Someone has to pay for the Legislature's doubling of their own salary, and the consideration going from a part-time to full-time Legislature.

The current $16k salary is a huge problem unless you want the legislature almost exclusively made up of people that can afford to make 16k for 6 months of work. You know: landlords, business owners, retirees, etc

Does Emilie Kornheiser own a business? No but her parents probably do. It's a bunch of out of state rich kids, which certainly makes sense in VT.

That's a valid point, are you saying the current D/P leaning legislature is made up of landlords, business owners, retirees, etc. I'd like to add trust funders.

Yes to all 4. A majority are transplants too.
