Members of Congress Should be Paid by Their States PROPOSAL: Senators and House Representatives in Congress should be paid by their respective states and the compensation should be determined by the states. Senator compensation should be determined by the state legislature and representative compensation should be determined by state-wide referendum. Compensation would be paid from state coffers.
FACTS: Congress currently establishes its own compensation and members are paid from the federal treasury.
OPINION: Senators and representatives need to be held more accountable and the citizen needs to have a way to both evaluate the worth of their federal representatives and to determine what the proper incentives should be to either dissuade or encourage those whom they feel will represent them best.

Perhaps if states established diminishing salaries there might be less of a need for term limits... 4th_of_July
