It's 6 am and I'm sitting in my RV getting ready for my day at the capitol. I'm often asked where I stay in Jackson during the 3 month legislative session. I stay in my RV at the state fairgrounds located just a few blocks from the capitol. When I was running for office I honestly never thought about where I might stay during the session but once elected it all of a sudden became very important. The options available to a legislator is to simply stay in a hotel which might be the cheapest option in the long run but to make it affordable I would have to check in and out of the hotel every week. The other hotel option would be find an extended stay hotel and just stay the entire 3 month session. Neither of those options appealed to me partly because as a pilot for FedEx I have spent half of my life for the past 30 years in a hotel. I am way over living in a hotel. The other option is to rent an apartment for the entire 4 year term. Generally this option is used by politicians who have no intention of ever leaving politics, they see this as a permanent job which is defiantly not an option for me.
