Limiting terms would help; however,  the process that created this dysfunction would remain and the net gain might be minimal. Here are some suggestions:  First, place the Legislature under the State Open Meeting Statute.  Second, take away the defacto veto power granted to individual legislators who can simply refuse to hear bills before various committees. Third, either stop introducing legislation or resolve every bill by defeating it, passing it, combining it with similar legislation, or having it withdrawn by the sponsor.  Forth, elect the State Attorney General. Fifth, require all meetings with lobbyists to be placed on the public record and finally diminish the ability of the Governor to so strongly influence the redistricting process. Sixth, apportion the  State Senate by geographic area instead of by population.  And finally, limit contributions so that only registered voters can contribute to elected officials who by Constitution are authorized to represent them.
