To the editor: Reporter Taryn Luna asks an necessary query in her article, “Too many Democrats in Sacramento? The downsides of political dominance in California.”
The reply is dependent upon which social gathering you help. Democracy is designed for “majority guidelines.” Nevertheless, what a few supermajority? Does it transfer our democracy to an autocracy? The present state Legislature can go its agenda with out consideration of the minority.
As soon as elected, legislators shouldn’t unilaterally disregard the influence of their payments and legal guidelines on those that are nonetheless a part of the entire state they have been elected to serve. As soon as the election is over, they need to be sure by a typical trigger that features all California residents.
When partisan politics are in play, democracy is in danger.

What if the Republicans simply gave up the social gathering, re-registered as Democrats and voted for the extra average candidate within the major?
Whereas conservative laws wouldn’t come out of such an operation, what can be delivered can be extra average than it at present is. That will give their vote some relevance.

To the editor: Asking a query within the headline is the other of a newspaper’s job. Don’t ask us; as a substitute, discover out after which inform us.
The rationale there are such a lot of Democrats within the Legislature is that the individuals of California voted it to be that manner. Are you asking if there are too many citizens?
However, because you requested me: No, there aren’t too many Democrats in Sacramento.
