I've said it before, we can fix part of the budget with 3 ballot measures, passed in order:
1) The Legislature is bound to conform and obey all citizen enacted ballot measures or face impeachment (no more 120 day sessions since 90 was voted on)
2) The Legislature must pass a budget during the regular session. If they do not, they will be held in special session. Pay and per diem will be limited to regular measures, and all costs will be deducted from the Legislatures own discretionary budget for the next year.
3)The Legislature must have voter approval via ballot measure for the following increases: increase in Legislature-related capital projects (ex: LIOs), Legislature-salary increases, Legislative-staff budget increases.
