They had a "session" over the weekend so they could collect their per diem.

Why they are considered an asset to the state anymore is beyond many here in this state.

Since the Supreme Court eliminated the allocation of state senate seats by adopting a "one man-one vote" method of districting, why does California (or any other state) need two legislative houses. California could save a very tidy sum by amending its constitution to provide for a unicameral legislature and limiting legislative sessions (1 to adopt a budget and 1 to review state governmental performance in that fiscal year) to 90 days per year.

The government that governs best governs least.

This is a McClatchy editorial? The state must be in worse shape than even I think.
