  1. TWENTY-ONE COMMITTEES? No wonder the Legislature’s staff is bloated. We need Ag, Appropriations, Banking, Education, Game/Fish, Judiciary, Labor, Health, Rules, Transportation. That’s 10. All those other make-work committees can be folded into those 10. Ridiculous waste of taxpayer money to make everyone feel important, and slow down government with layer upon layer of bureaucracy.
