She’s a SENATOR and only makes 12,000 a year? I thought senators made bank! That’s crazy!

Of course she can’t go—only $12,000 a year. That’s way cool to receive an invitation though. 

Becky, just to clairfy, she’s a State Senator, not the kind that goes to Washington, but that works in the Unicameral Legislature (we only have 1 house, only state to do that!) so we call them senators.

Melanie-That’s right! Although the campaign funds do pay for travel like that if she wanted to go. (I think she has committee meetings the next day.)

Very cool! 

Thanks guys!

Melanie & Becky- I live with a Nebraska State Senator. She’s a friend of mine who used to work in the TV biz before she left to run for office 6 years ago. She’s about my age and has a house. Nebraska pays their state senator’s only $12,000 a year so she works a couple other part time jobs. That wasn’t enough to pay her mortgage and bills and so she put on Facebook that she wanted a roommate. I’ve live here since October.

Sadly, she (nor I) are going to the Inauguration! But that was on the table when I got home last night and I thought it was pretty cool. 🙂
