#1 Good for her. Finally, a government official that doesn't see the public as a giant feeding trough.

#2 "Her view is, it's just not appropriate to accept a pay raise in the middle of the term,"

Refreshing! I'd wager American voters would be ecstatic to have someone of her character and grit in Washington.

#6 A long time ago my dad was a state rep. for two terms, and after each race, whatever campaign funds he had remaining he'd refund, pro-rata, to the donors.

I suspect someone else has done this somewhere else, but I'm waiting for a higher level or federal rep. to make a show of such methods.

Taken separately, fund raising isn't bad, and parties aren't bad, and multiple terms aren't bad, but add them together and multiply them and you get permanent campaigns and our exemplary governor here in Illinois.
