OTHER-MI: Reducing the size

Yet another interesting proposal has appeared on the political scene. A new bill, introduced by State Representative Glenn Steil, a Republican from Cascade, would reduce the size of both houses of the Michigan State Legislature: Reduce the House from 110 members to 60 and reduce the Senate from 38 to 20.

This proposal is yet further proof that the people of our state are fed up with the bloated state legislature. Whether we're talking about moving to part-time (like almost all other states), moving to a unicameral legislature, or reducing the size, it's clear that the citizens of Michigan know that change is needed and it's needed now.
