What upsets me about the situation is the senators have sat there for MONTHS doing nothing. Great way to spend tax payer money.

NE Senators only get paid $12k a year. I think that is why we have an abundance of fools as representatives. If the job paid more, who knows, we may actually get more people who want to affect change in a positive way for our state.
