RE: Unless system's fixed, corruption's here to stay

The systems under which Congress and the General Assembly operate are rotten. It is the systems that need fixing.

Absolutely correct. The only solution that addresses the rotten system is the one suggested by Thomas Sowell: everyone must be limited to a single term. If that means we need to amend our state constitution to allow for a four year term, then so be it.

At the national level, we need to limit everyone to a single term and repeal the seventeenth amendment.

Without doing these things, nothing will ever change.
