An excellent idea, but since this is putting the fox in charge of the chicken coup, are we suppose to believe anyone in the legislatore will vote for this? It would be like taking away the right to give themselves an wage increase, when the rest of us had to wait a decade for an increase in mimimum wage and we were suppose to be grateful!!!!!

I suggest ALL TRAVEL NO MINIMUM AMOUNT. This is so abused in this country. Like Mr. Ward's trip just before the election. No reason but fully paid for.
