If they did the same for their constituents I don't think anyone would have a problem with this. They bring up a valid point of needing to maintain two residences, and one is certainly in an expensive area.

The infighting and inability to do much for the people they represent really do bring their value into question.

I live less than an hour from DC on the MD side in a high COL area and I make it work on $100K less per year than that. Maybe you’ll have to commute to your job like everyone else.
