Works here in Tx. Our Congress only meets every other year. The budget is a two year budget so it covers the off year. If something catastrophic occurs, there are provisions for calling an empergency session.

Notice we also have fewer business killing regulations. Coincidence? I think not.

No coincidence at all. You can look it up. Most of the well run states have part-time legislatures. As an added bonus, the legislators have to spend part of their time working in the real world and living with the laws which they helped create.
