Residency

I think it's fair to have some expectation that your political representatives spend a bit of time in the state that they're supposed to represent, but we really should come up with some solution to the "residency scandal" problem. They work in DC. That's their primary job. It isn't crazy for them to basically move their lives and families to the area. And not rich ones (not that there are all that many) can't afford to maintain two households. Yes, yes, they get paid a decent amount and have travel budgets, but maintaining two households costs a lot of money.
