There's a distinct possibility that Michigan will be right-sizing its state government soon:

A sweeping revision of the Michigan Constitution that would cut state politicians' pay and benefits where it doesn't eliminate their jobs altogether came out of nowhere in recent weeks and appears to have a realistic chance of making the ballot in November.

The lengthy and complicated proposed amendment would overhaul much of the state's political structure, including the hyper-partisan process of drawing legislative district boundaries.

Since it seems that we've got most of the bad illegal stuff outlawed by now, I don't see the problem with an effort like this.

It would be amusing to see GOPers screaming against downsizing and smaller government for a change...
