Guest Editorial: Golden Hammock Reform Needed

​In the last 7 months,  there have been 7 new vacancies in the legislature. The leading cause has been a lawmaker who is actively on a job search, instead of advocating for his constituents.   Three of those resignations were clearly stated as caused by a lawmaker's explicit desire to grab a job offer before the attractive opportunity slips away.   At least two other resignations were perhaps partially influenced by the lawmaker's better prospects outside public service. ​   Analyst, Dewey Fudge posted this witty perspective... Golden Hammock Reform... ​Because the draconian cuts in elective eligibility, are making it difficult to find enough lifetime appointments. Some lawmakers are desperately having  to arrange jobs in the private sector.
