I disagree. Because we have a small legislature the government is more wieldy. Too large a legislature can become cumbersome and make it harder to observe corruption in the government. We already have trouble watching the few hundred elected crooks in power.

Yeah, good idea! Let's find some more jobs for untalented, sticky-fingered folks that act like organized crime figures!

If a representative has to answer to a few tens of thousands of individuals, rather than hundreds of thousands, it seems like that would make it easier for these smaller communities to keep tabs on and hold their representatives accountable.
