The New York Times has an article that describes what the state legislature actually does -- hand out money to small groups of influential people at the expense of everyone else, with the cost preferably hidden until the future, without debate, without dissent, and without any facts about the consequences. Measured by dollars allocated, this accounts for most of the legislation over the past 18 years. For most legislators, this and member item handouts is all they do, and all they care about.

Most of the bills proposed would either allow public employees to do less work, or allow them to retire and do no work for longer on more generous terms. Even as the rest of us have faced tax increases from the nation's highest state and local tax burden, and have had our public services cut. Even as $billions are borrowed that will make this even worse in the future. Even as the beneficiaries are out there collecting signatures so the incumbent state legislators can get on the ballot, despite rules and litigation that keep challengers off. This is incredibly unjust, somehow allegedly irrevocable, bi-partisan, and will soon be all that is left of "public service" as it accelerates into an institutional collapse.
