Now we just need 37 other states to follow suit.   ???

There's some good insight into this and related issues in the comments on that article too.

Make the case that magically corruption of the Senate  will end if the 17th is tossed.  No corruption at the state level?

Seems odd..you're not in favor of term limits. You say the people can term limit the pols if they want. True (in theory) but

now you don't promoter the same option to the votes when it comes to the Senate.  ???
