It is my sense that what needs to be changed is to cut the full time legilasture back to 3 months per year. That would be an immediate savings in what those ding dongs bleed from the public as well as giving them less time to pass costly and rediculous laws. According to Michael Medved, one of the largest drains on the California budget today is for all of the state agencies and the legal system trying to comply with all of the politically correct laws and give away programs that are currently active.
