Democrats keep grasping failure from the jaws of victory. Unforced error.
Also why the actual fuck is that State Congress convened for 7 entire months?!? What is the point of a government that isn't even present for the majority of the year?

That's pretty standard for state legislatures. A lot of states treat the legislature as a part-time job and expect their elected representatives to have other responsibilities as well. It used to even be common for states to only convene every other year.
