The point is that it would make Senators and representatives more effective by spending more time in their constituencies as well as opening up the legislature for more average citizens. It's not exactly effective to have an entire chamber basically made up of independently wealthy people and retirees. Who cares about the $2 million, even for S.C. that’s pretty small.

Over the years, the SC House has passed session shortening legislation many times. There is no reason in the world for SC's general assembly to meet from January to June, three days a week, year after year. States like Texas and Kentucky meet every other year for shorter periods of time. Its about time our Legislature spent more time at home in the real world. Hopefull the very Reverend Senator can convince Sen. McConnell and other leaders in the "deliberative" body to come home and save the taxpayers some money.
