We cannot agree with respondent, however, that the framers meant to place a lifetime 'mark of Cain' on every citizen who is willing to benefit our state by serving in the legislature. While it is highly desirable to bar improper personal gain by former legislators, we believe that this concern can be more effectively addressed through appropriate legislation rather than an overbroad judicial interpretation of the constitution.")
