The things that gets me is, if you actually step into the limelight in our state legislator you put a target on your back for not just "going along to get along". Original thoughts are shunned and debate about fiscal responsibility are taboo. With such voter apathy in our state, it's a shame that it's your own colleagues that will put you out to pasture. Does any local politician actually have any incentive to work for the voters? It seems that you will last a long time in the legislator if you learn early to just be a yes man/women.
