Here's an idea voters might like: Cut the pay for legislators and statewide elected officials.

The commission could decide on the matter in late May or early June.

Here's what state Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, said when reached by email: "I'm willing to do whatever the Commission decides. I think the freeze of salaries is a good idea."
