"... maybe the state Assembly, with its 99 members, is too large. Maybe there should be talk about downsizing state government." -- Waukesha Co. Board Chair Jim Dwyer on County Exec Dan Vrakas' proposal to trim the size of the board.
Notice he didn't say the State Senate, which at 33 members to represent the entire state already has fewer members than Waukesha's 35-member county board.

Why does Wisconsin government look like it does?
Why does Wisconsin have a "full-time" legislature? Six million souls need this overhead?
Why does Wisconsin still have "towns"? Less than half (23 out of 50) of the states still do.
Why does Wisconsin have so many local school districts? 426.
After all is said and done, all of these bodies and units of government are products of the people, people who consent to be governed. What they look like and what they do is subject to change, and we hope always change for the better.
Perhaps it's time for a constitutional convention to take a look at this whole government business from bottom to top.
So is molliemous suggesting that we consolidate more school districts so they all look like the largest school district -- Milwaukee Publis Schools?
