Speaking Of "Disastrous" And "Dysfunctional" Legislative Sessions, And Special Sessions. Here's A Cure!

It is one of those self evident truths that our legislature continues to be more "disastrous" and "dysfunctional", as evidenced by the last legislative session.

Granted most of the "disaster" and "dysfunction" occurred for the Democrats, demonstrating perhaps the truism in the words of the late Will Rogers who said: "I'm not a member of any organized political party; I'm a Democrat."

And every year, it seems, after pointing accusing fingers of guilt and self righteous indignation, the members are called into, and stroll towards, a special session.

This year, is apparently, going to be no different on all counts.

So my suggested fix is to limit the legislative session to one alternate (10 day) session for budget and revenue matters ONLY.

This will be followed by a (60 day) session to deal with every other matter(s) NOT related to revenue or budget.

As a further incentive (or disincentive) for the law makers, we change the definition of extra ordinary for calling the legislature back into session for TRULY special occasions.

Anyone with me on this?
