Letter: Legislators, do your job

Here are two simple cures to have the Legislature do its job and pass a timely state budget.

1. Amend the state Constitution to require the House and Senate to pass a budget in the first session before any other business, bill or hearings are held.

2. If a budget is not finalized and passed in the first session, any subsequent session in order to complete and pass a budget will be done without any pay, per diem, remuneration or stipend of any kind to any member in either chamber.

Do your job!
