Ultimately, money is the problem..

I sometimes wonder if we pay them enough.. I know it seems counter intuitive, but.. good governance would be worth almost any price.

It's the Monarch theory.

I know. I was thinking about doing a poll thread where the options are no pay, where only passionate volunteers might run, vs massive salaries, to put them beyond bribes.

I tend toward the massive salaries. It would be far cheaper to pay a million per rep, than to pay for all the shenanigans that the lobbyist bribes cost us.
