1970 - Question 1Are you in favor of amending the constitution by abolishing the current provisions for paying legislators two hundred dollars for a two-year term plus mileage and by establishing, instead, a legislative compensation commission, appointed by the governor and council and the supreme court, to biennially set the compensation and amounts of expense allowances for members of the general court; provided that the current ninety-day limit of days for which mileage may be paid shall be retained as a limit on payments of compensation and expense allowances for legislative days (the limitation of July first for stopping of mileage payments being eliminated) and that additional expense allowances may be paid for fifteen legislative days of a special session and may be paid on nonlegislative days spent on legislative business as provided by the general court?
