Agree...we forget that as a nearly 100% Blue state that we are the anomaly compared to CONUS.  The lack of two party competition prevents us from getting better.  Strangely you would think with one party control here that we should be able to solve problems quickly...we just seem to become more third world and more controlled by Hawaii’s special interests and cronyism as time passes.  We need term limits for our legislature…who will be the hero that makes that happen?
