The legislature would be well advised to adopt this as soon as possible and help restore credibility and integrity to the offices to which they have been elected. This is only right and open and long overdue!

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.
