ELECTED OFFICALS GET SAME BENEFITS AS THE REST OF US. THAT MEANS SOCIAL SECURITY,MEDICARE ETC.THEY NO LONGER GET TO CHOOSE THEIR SALARY OR BENIFITS WE THE PEOPLE DO
Why is this important?
IT IS WELL KNOW THAT ELECTED OFFICALS GET BENEFITS THAT THE REST OF DON'T. I SAY WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC IS GOOD FOR THEM. THEY NO LONGER GET SPECIAL PRIVILEDGES. THEIR BENEFITS ARE BASED ON HOW LONG THEY SERVED NOT THE SAME FOR ALL. THEY DO NOT GET TO SET THEIR OWN SALARIES. WE THE PEOPLE DO.
