The CA legislature has the same problem all blue legislatures do: They stay in session too long. They’re in all year.
If they could cut their sessions back to two of three months, it would make a world of difference with regard to the number of bills entered.
Our blue legislature [WA] is in session three or four months (alternating) only. They can still cause damage, but the cutoffs mean that a lot of non-essential and bad stuff dies.
