Response to "Annual Legislative Sessions"

Though I certainly agree with your statements about legislative change you brought up in your post "Annual Legislative Sessions", I feel that you've put the emphasis on the wrong issue in this post. Whether or not the Texas legislature meets once a year, twice a year, or whatever interval you wish, it doesn't matter one bit if they're all still a bunch of corrupt and useless politicians. For that matter, having more sessions without first changing nature of the legislature would only make the problem worse. The thought of twice as many unnecessary laws shoehorned into the Texas constitution is not a reassuring thought for the average citizen.

By focusing on biennial sessions, the reading is left thinking that this is the important change to make, while in actuality it is only important if the other goal is achieved first. Other than that, your writing and reasoning are spot on and make solid points backed by convincing logic. With a bit of tweaking, this post could pack a little more 'oomph' and make a solid one-two punch against the ridiculousness of the Texas legislature.
