Good work if you can get it...and keep it

I've been hearing rumors that the legislature might adjourn as early as March this year and now Rep. Mark Pocan has the rumor on his blog with some good questions about it.

Some might be happy about this since they can't do much more damage if they go home next month. But how in the world will Senator Dave Zien (R-Motorcycle) collect over ten thousand dollars in per diems this year to match his ten thousand dollar plus mileage grab with this schedule?

Why such an early adjournment? The cynic in me thinks it has to do with the Speaker running for Congress.
