The only time they REALLY work is if there is an election year, there is an important piece of legislation (like congressional pay-raises), and it's been leaked to the media. Otherwise, they just say "screw it" and take their undeserving vacations. It NEVER ceases to amaze me that the state and national "powers that be" have the right to vote on their own pay raise, whereas the rest of the real world has to prove our worth each and avery day. What a setup!
How many of us would, in all due respect, leave for vacation knowing we didn't finish our work? Once again, what a beautiful setup!
I wish we had term limits for each and every political office, and would hold these individuals accountable/responsible for each and every one of their decisions, and a no-show for a vote would actually have some bearings on their future.
Of course, I then wake up and realize when and where I am, and I realize that we are pretty much screwed.
