| Does it serve some purpose? Four year terms aren't so very much longer than two. They don't represent counties anymore. Just because the Feds have a Senate (in all its splendor) isn't much of a reason for us to have one.
I'd trade it in for term limits. You can be re-elected as many times as your district wants to vote for you but you have to run every two years.
Or, even more blue-sky: Increase the size of the Assembly and make the new 40 seats statewide party list seats. If you get 2.5% of the vote, you get a seat. Or some such arrangement, maybe not statewide. But the two major state parties are such failures, I think it'd be good to get some wild cards in there. |
