Guessing by your screen name that you are a "Cornhusker," and if so, having lived in your state before moving to CA, I suggest you read the CA state constitution. It has become an abomination, yeah verily, even an abortion!!!
It is so conflicted and confused with not only ballot measure baloney injected into a document already rife with legislatively passed "amendments" that it is practically incomprehensible gibberish!!!
On our CA state flag it says "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC" and like our whole nation was supposed to be a representative republic, utilizing a democratic process until some Republican Governor instituted the "direct democracy" concept from the old country that we all were supposed to have left behind as unacceptable.
It has turned CA into the mob rule of "group think" that is direct democracy and made it ungovernable, even for a lunk-head celebrity from Austria (again, the old country!)
Many here have suggested we'd do better with a unicameral legislature like your Nebraska has. That it would eliminate the so-called "gridlock!" Thank God for gridlock!!!
If we had a one-house legislature (as we almost have anyway with Demonicrat domination) we would be taxed out of existance and the world's 6th largest economy would grind to a halt under the burden!!!
Be very careful what you wish for, as we've already gotten it and it don't work!!!
