I feel sure that he must be aware that Nebraska has, for over 70 years, had a Unicameral legislature. US Senator George Norris, a 'New Deal Republican' who settled in McCook, Nebraska, wore out two sets of tires while he drove throughout the state campaigning for the measure that changed the state legislature to a Unicameral legislature. He said the two-house system was outdated, inefficient and unnecessary. The bicameral system (which we have in Alabama) was modeled after the British Parliament, Norris said, which is made up of the House of Commons, with representatives elected by the people, and the House of Lords, with its aristocratic members appointed by the king. Norris said, “…...the constitutions of our various states are built upon the idea that there is but one class. If this be true, there is no sense or reason in having the same thing done twice, especially if it is to be done by two bodies of men elected in the same way and having the same jurisdiction.” The one-house system differs little from most city, county and school district governing bodies. I wonder if Representative Ward might agree with the long-deceased Senator Norris. Representative Ward’s words comparing (or contrasting) the Alabama house and senate are interesting.

When you have that many Republican elected officials in one area I would think there will be 3 or 4 people in that race at least.

Some dialogue, a little discussion, guests... you know, it's kinda like a Parlor. I'll also point out that the pingbacks above show that three other sites in Alabama also believe that the post was interesting... enough so that they linked to it.
