There must be other perks, those amounts are peanuts for a 2 year period, unless your crooked politicians live more modestly than usual.

You'd be surprised how little it would take. I know in Kansas that if a rep worked 365 days a year at $88/day they would take home $31,562/yr. So $50k would be almost double their salary.

Looks like Nevada is $150.71/day or about $55k/year.

We really need to pay these people more so they don't need to supplement their pay through lobbying.
