PART-TIME MI: Lenawee Opinion

In this opinion piece in The Daily Telegram in Lenawee County, they focus on the costs of the full-time legislature and make some very good points, including:

Shorter sessions, not larger districts or a unicameral Legislature, are the answer. Mark Twain famously noted that "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session".

Mark Twain's point is very correct, especially so for full-time legislatures. (He was actually focused on US Congress and not the state legislatures, but he's definitely right either way.)
