Michigan lawmakers are considering legislation that would reduce the number of hours they spend on the job.

Rather than working full-time, a bill proposes lawmakers would only work 90 days a year.

Supporters of the idea say there's no reason they can't get their work done in fewer days with fewer dollars. However, critics -- including Governor Rick Snyder -- say the demands of lawmakers require full-time attention.
