Government should run like a well-oiled business instead of the fiasco we are witnessing lately. We seriously need to cut back to a parliamentary system here in Maine and in Washington. Have one representative from each county in Maine and one senator from each state in Washington to cut back from the needless theatrics and ridiculous spending and coddling of the rich who control everything we do in daily life. This would stop the hiding behind one another and allow only the best and brightest to lead.
