&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;Obviously members of the senate are exempt from jury duty, it cost the average taxpayer money out of pocket from the loss of wages to sit on a jury duty, I might ad most are willing to do as a citizen and tax payer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;Its obvious they are not paying out fair amounts when we have built up such an amount of accumulation to have millions on hand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;Most importantly, its disgusting that this state is in this much trouble that we have to transfer funds from one account to another to cover the states budget.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;This state and its leaders need a serious overhaul, the federal government needs to step in and take charge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
