Constituents lose trust in legislators who add unrelated riders to bills

The purity of a bill under legislation is sometimes compromised by one or more riders.

A rider can be an abuse of legislation if it concerns an issue not concordant with its underlying  bill.  It happens when a rider is easier to pass if added to urgent legislation-- a bill that is expected to be voted on.

This legislative abuse lessens peoples' trust with their elected officials.  Why hold hostage bills
that must get passed with unrelated riders?  Constituents are victimized by this abusive legislation.
