If you’re a Minnesotan, you really should sign this online petition. It was started by two state Senators, and would elimintate any pay for legislators in a special session. If they don’t get the job done in time, they don’t get salaries, per diems, or expenses during the special session. It also calls for immediate reelection of EVERY legislator once they go into special session.
I don’t care what side you’re on, they both sound like great ideas to me.
If you’re a Minnesotan, go sign it!

This sounds like a great idea on the face of it but the back effect could be that they rush through legislation during the regular session just so they won’t have to come back without getting paid.
In the long run though, it’s probably a good idea.
Seems to me it would be enough to just slap them on the “non-essential” government employee list, so they don’t get paid when the budget doesn’t get done on time.
Great idea!
Therefore, somehow highly unlikely to be applied to government.
