I completely disagree. The US has been a country for over 200 years and California has been a state for over 150 years. How many more laws do we need - all the crimes that need outlawing have already been taken care of before? In fact we have way too many laws now, and could easily live with a 50% reduction. All the CA state legislature needs to do is to pass a budget and keep the executive and judicial branches honest. Those responsibilites can easily be done as a part time job.

I'm sure the state would get along fine without any legislature for many years. All I'm saying is that making the legislature part time would be a useless gesture, there are billions involved in what the legislature does, and to think that they would not be running campaigns and doing legislative work full time is to be naive.
