I believe the current partial and/or complete closings of businesses, schools and sporting events would come to an abrupt halt (and prevent future closings) if the salary and per diem of the governor, lieutenant governor, state legislators, and city mayors and council members were terminated for the duration of the pandemic. This segment of our society has not felt the loss of income while many small business owners and employees are in dire financial straits. Pressure from state legislators and city officials on the governor should end this travesty.
