On opening day, April 8, the legislators gave a party for themselves and former legislators in the building.

Some legislators would give the mayor two more appointments under the present system.

In the session's last hours, legislators also gave tributes to departing members.

And when the speech was over, legislators gave it mixed reviews.

"I would suggest that any legislator who wants to cut his salary give the treasurer a check," he said.

Others say expectations were overblown last summer when Mexican legislators gave in to political pressure from migrants, who send home $16 billion a year.

The legislators were all giving Gary hell in their most sanctimonious voices.

Average donations are in the range of $100 to $200, although some legislators have given much more, the officials said.

The legislator gives more than its due to the government of the courts.

But after legislators give final approval to the budget, the Governor can reduce or eliminate specific spending items.
