This is really starting to add up to alot of money...for 3 months 'work'?

I would like to hear more about how this money is spent...

"though lawmakers do use public money for their separate "office accounts" — $12,000 for House members and $20,00 for senators — which are also to be used for official expenses."

The numbers here show  $16,000 for House members and $20,000 for Senators.

This amounts to $246 per business day for House members, $307 per day for Senators.

This is way beyond what any other state is spending on postage and stationery and legislators in other states have many more constituents.
