California needs a part-time legislature. Also, the pay for legislators should be lowered drastically. Texas pays its legislators $7,200 per year. Needless to say, if you can't hold a real job in the real world, you can't afford to have a seat in the Texas legislature.

This has to be said far and wide and often!

I agree with you. As Mark Twain said, "When the (California) legislature is in session, no man's life, liberty, or property is safe". A part-time legislature would make us safer from power-hungry politicians and the nanny-staters.
