Here – this applies to a STATE law, but ALL levels of government – local, agency, bureau, state AND federal – need to stop this practice.
If you don’t want the Constitution to stop your petty little rules/laws, there is a standard, encoded procedure to change it.

The problem is that when politicians do this there is no punishment. They should pay a price and it should be more than not getting re-elected.
U.S. Constitution: Art. 1 Section 6 para. 1 The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
IMHO this section should be altered such: No Senators or Representatives shall receive a compensation from within or without the United States for their duties and services. Senators and Representatives shall be subject to arrest, trial and, if convicted, incarceration for any action or vote in contravention of this Constitution for the United States of America. Such actions or votes shall be Treason against the United States. All speeches and debates shall be laid before the citizens of each of the United States before any action or vote of the membership shall be taken.
The Governors of each state shall determine and accuse those members of their state.
Evil Franklin
They – the politicians who insist on encroaching on individual rights, and the voters who support them either due to misguided philosophy or for largesse from the Treasury – are not like us, and the situation is quickly reaching the level of being intolerable.
I don’t see how a national divorce can be avoided, at this point.
