What a waste..

This is the best they can come up with?? Fire them all..

If state legislatures were interested in it's citizens, they'd pass laws that defend voting rights of their citizens, and take measures against other states that attack their vote by allow illegal voting.

They would pass legislation that moves them towards financial solvency, and moves away from their citizens being wards of the federal govt.

They would renegotiate interstate trade pacts with other states, and ensure that goods and services are being sold at an market price, independent of federal grants and monies.

The latter has been a major problem for Midwestern states, as water, grain, meat and petro products have been exported to rich coastal states for far too cheap. In many cases the federal govt often pays farmers not to produce crops, which in turn causes then to not look for alternative crops or land usage.

Interesting idea. Continuous funding would keep the project going. It still requires a horrendous amount of money though.
