Advice For The Mississippi Legislature (and Voters)

I am waiting for an elected official to admit that state and county government are the fattest cats in the Mississippi budgetary political process. the garbage being promulgated by our Fat Cat Political Lifers is disgraceful. State leadership must reduce the size of government by at least sixty five percent!
I will not vote for, nor support, anyone who will not advocate such a cut. Size, pay, and perks should be the first order of business of the 2010 Legislature.
Also, let's reduce the number of state counties to thirty. Forget county egos, this state would save lots of money! Establish a city type mayor/city council in each county. We'd let the county presidents become our fulltime legislators.
As well, let's authorize school vouchers. let thefamilies using the education system (not nine men in black robes in Washington) decide if they can pray and/or read the Bible in "their" schools.
Finally, let's appoint the judges and hire the work force. (And one more thing: No more special sessions please!)
