The large urban areas should be forced to be their own state. New York, Chicago, Boston, LA-San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Portland would each have two Senators, Representatives would stay the same, but, they would have to deal with their own finances, not rob the rest of the state to live their profligate ways.
You mean the state of Los Angeles would no longer be able to dump their felons on other cities? This might be a plan to look into.
