in | 7 | | Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution. No | 8 | | member maintaining a permanent or primary residence in | 9 | | Sangamon County shall receive allowance for travel to a | 10 | | convened session of the General Assembly or for food and | 11 | | lodging while in attendance at sessions of the General | 12 | | Assembly.

as compensation, the unpaid balance shall be | 26 | | paid to the surviving
spouse of such member, or, if there be |
