  I assume that this has zero chance of passing but I wonder if the legislature realizes that these lame duck proposals -- like the varrious wealth tax proposals-- have a real and negative effect on the state.

  [Not that I don't agree that many places would be better off with 4 day work weeks. But many wouldn't, and the prospect of paying people the same even when some people work in jobs where their productivity is very much directly in proportion to the time the work... is just pretty much nuts.]

  Imagine calling our government democratic after they mandate giving everyone a 20% raise.
