So then when business interests draw up the legislation they want, the people who decide don't have staffs to examine the legislation and see if it's in the public interest? They don't have staff to research and examine matters minutely so the lawmakers vote knowledgeably? No thanks, townonenorth. I'd rather give legislators and councilmembers budgets and staffs. I should imagine that legislators who make good calls thanks to competent staffs and adequate budgets produce a government that is more "efficient" in the long run.
