OTHER STATES: Indiana

Kudos to Indiana State Senator Gary Dillon and State Representative Dan Leonard for recognizing the benefits of their part-time legislature:

“I think we have enough time,” he said. “I think a part-time legislature is the way to go." A part-time legislator goes back and lives with his constituents, knowing what they're thinking. “When you get into the situation where you are a full-time professional legislator, you lose some of that.”
