To me it looks like these legislators are simply covering their tails because they know how hotly contested this has been and they made perhaps some unpopular votes with their decisions last session.
If you do the math, it adds up. It's probably more valuable than any income that legislator may have made in their years of service.
I don't think this issue is going to go away anytime soon.
Just when we got it solved a whole faction of people we never heard from before are talking.
You've got happy people, sad people and really mad people. I don't know what to do at this time. I guess we'll have to ride this out for a year.
It's time to make our fireworks law legitimate.
When you look at how valuable this benefit is for legislators like myself and the fact that I run very small business and have two young children you have to take a serious look at it.
You'd be foolish not to take a close look at it because of the cost of insurance and the availability of it, and I still have two very young children. It would be irresponsible not to consider it.
