What a remarkably foolish recommendation.  Grab 58 people from across the state (2 are in Juneau), send them to Juneau for 3 - 6 months each year, force them to maintain two households and refuse to compensate them for it.  

The gives the governor the upper hand in battles with the legislature.  All he has to do is keep on calling special session after special session and the wheels of basic personal economics will grind his opposition into dust.  

At some level, we do get what we pay for.  And if we are moving toward full time legislators, perhaps it is time to start paying them like full time legislators.  Cheers -
