Nice head shot of Robin Vos, who is and has always been a RINO prick.
The pay is the same if you’re in the minority, AND you aren’t expected to actually accomplish anything. You can author the occasional bill that your constituents want, but it’ll either not make it to a vote, or be voted down. Either of which is a victory! As you can say “See! I tried! I’ll try again when we get control of this body. Please send a donation to help me hold this office in the next election”.
So, they can sit on the sidelines and not care. (which is what I believe is the case).
