It's up to the people of the state to deal with it. Going to the federal government is like asking a Doberman Pinscher to baby sit for you while you go shopping. If the people of the state don't or won't fix it by throwing the bums out, then we can move to another state, which we're in the process of doing (moving out of CA, like a lot of people).
Convenient? No. Hassle? Yes. Better than getting the Lunk Headed Federal Government involved? ABSOLUTELY.
