Pay your politicians too much and you may attract the wrong kind of people.
Pay them too little, and they're more susceptible to corruption or may have trouble making ends meet.
But how much is just right?
It's a question that's thrown Virginia's government into a minor Constitutional crisis.
Today, an advisory panel headed by two former governors set off to lead the legislature out of the wilderness.

Remember, the 1998 General Assembly voted to increase its annual office expense allowance and outside-of-session meeting pay.
But those pay increases were frozen by the state comptroller July first, and Attorney General Mark Earley believes they are unconstitional because they were to take effect during the same legislative term.
So that's pending before the state Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, a Citizen Advisory Commission has stepped into the fray.

Vance Wilkins is against a pay raise.
He says it would be dangerous to the concept of public service.
Virginia senators make 18- thousand dollars in straight salary -- with more for expenses.
Delegates make a little bit less.
In North Carolina, they pay them 13-thousand-951 dollars a year.
