CNMI legislator's real income is their "discretionary fund," plus their per-diems and reimbursements, and if they're influential enough, bribes and kickbacks on spending and salaries they arrange. The idea that a place the size of the CNMI needs a full-time bicameral legislature is already a full-on scam. As for salaries, those are tied to local cost of living, not unicameral vs bicameral. But anyway, the salary is not where cnmi legislators make their money.
