I think in general....the public has come to realize that one-size-fits-all in terms of state governments...doesn’t work.
I could see a reason to open up a split season....move to seventy-five states...dump the necessity for US senators...and eliminate several methods from which the Supreme Court throws itself into state matters.
Anyone who lives in California will tell you that the current state government is dysfunctional and unable to represent regular state residents. It’s a lobbyist-government and geared toward wealth redistribution more than anything else.
Puts an end to that “opportunity”. The ba$tards in Washington have tied everything tightly to remain in control of everyone else. Can't have any dissension now, can we?

That’s the best description of what we have that I have seen. And further, what it means that at least 40% of our state’s population are not being represented comprising at least 70% ( probably more like 80%) of the land area. “One man, one vote” is largely responsible for where things have gone.
knowing how short life is, I would just MOVE to some other state that did not have an income tax. I think there are 9 of them????
