I agree with cutting out lobbyist groups.
I don't think it would be good to drop their pay to whatever their constituency makes. Remember, these people have to keep two residencies. We need to make it so that they can support themselves without needing outside money. Otherwise, we would be stuck with things as it is already where only the rich can be leaders.
I like the town hall idea. That should be a requirement, along with about an hour per week on the radio to take calls from constituents.
