I have a novel idea unpopular, but I believe novel. The governor all the way down to every elected official, must take a pay cut and work for the state minimum wage. They must also give up tax paid healthcare that we pay for them to enjoy and live on Medicaid like the poorest of our citizens do. 

I believe if our representatives had to live the way we do financially there would be a  greater incentive to resolve finding the guts to stand up to the oil companies CEOs that enjoy corporate welfare via texting our citizens.

This pay deduction and healthcare downsizing,would continue until they decide to restructure the extorted tax payments of the mega rich oil companies that are enjoying tax payer funded corporate welfare as we tax payers are locked into paying for their privilege to take our oil. Enjoying big bonuses and golden parachutes.

Renegotiate get a better deal then get  your pay returndand healthcare. Increase our minimum wage to $15 an hour. when we make more we spend more!
