Point taken though .... (Thankfully!) I want it on the record: I don't live in Ohio. :)
Jokes a side ... and we've all had this ... you live in a state with some embarrassingly moronic state assemblymen. Problem is, everyone gets voted in from their own area. You can't change it if you wanted.
Go smaller, my city (or your city, your county, town) ... you have one (at least) moron in there ... problem is, he legislates like an idiot, has cronies on the council, but he's damned good to his constuiency, that little part of the city, or county ... he'll be in there forever.
Everyone knows he an idiot. But the people from the little area he reprsents either a) don't think he's an idiot or B) they do, but they get their streets cleaned, street lights changed, a new police precinct and they won't kick him out until he dies.
As Tip O'Neill said "All politics is local."
