PART-TIME MI: Great Editorial

There was a great editorial in yesterday's Jackson Citizen-Patriot. Here's the best part:

___________________________________________________
If the Legislature is unable or unwilling to control its spending, perhaps it is time the people stepped in with a solution. Currently, there are two plans on the table:

A citizens group, Unicameral Michigan, is pushing a ballot proposal that would merge the House and Senate into one chamber; and state Rep. Glenn Steil Jr., R-Cascade, has introduced a resolution calling for a state constitutional amendment to cut the number of senators from 38 to 20, and representatives from 110 to 60. Then, of course, there is always the possibility of a part-time Legislature. We're not advocating any of these ideas yet, but something's got to give.

Only one state, Nebraska, has a unicameral legislature, so that idea is not likely to fly here. The legislators will never reform themselves and reduce the number of members. That only leaves the most realistic opportunity: A PART TIME LEGISLATURE!
