Reply to comment by TheDudeMaintains in CT's legislature salaries are starvation wages, $28k/year. You have to be retired or rich to serve. This is regressive and should be changed. by MormonReformist

Sure, assuming they can find a job that pays the same rate on an 8-month-a-year basis (with a schedule that perfectly matches up with the congressional sessions). My larger point is that this system (and low compensation) incentivizes people with disproportionate means to run for office.
