He’s hit the 33 year mark, so we’ve got a ways to go. The reason why I recently voted for Prop 11 is because I oppose gerrymandered districts. In this situation politicans become permanent office holders – like Miller – and they pick out the voters they want to represent every 10 years. Miller’s seat belongs to the poeple, not Miller, but he’s gerrymandered the district to the point where you can’t vote him out. This way he can vote anyway he wants to, and he doesn’t have to answer to the people, he only answers to the people he picked out. Sadly, Prop 11 didn’t apply to congressman.
