pretty cool site legistorm.com ,you would be suprised how much some of them make and the sheer number of people on everyones payroll
My opinion on this is if these people were actually doing good it would be worth it, but for example, my "Senator" hutchison is as corrupt a politician as they come and she is in the pockets of just about everyone who has a dime, The other guy john cornyn is a good guy and isnt corrupt.though if you think about who they are paying its understandable, If you are a good senator, its hard work keeping track of all the issues of an entire state.
