I'd like to see a unicameral legislature of 100 members. Fewer politicians, no duplication, and the districts would actually be smaller, and thus more responsive, than the current districts in the 80-member Assembly or 40-member Senate. Also, it takes the political process out of the (inherently unaccountable) conference committee and moves it into the open forum of the legislative floor.

I think I'd go for it, too, provided the districts aren't gerrymandered too much.

In the US Congress, the Senators represent states, so it seems that an improvement to the bicameral legislature would be if we had 58 State Senators, each representing one of the 58 counties. As the CA legislature is now, it seems that the state Senate duplicates the Assembly.
