No, it isn’t a mistake. Some of them really are the outhouses of American democracy. Examples:
North Dakota: A few days after a vote against expanding the free lunch program for poor kids, the legislators voted to expand their own meal reimbursements.
Tennessee: We all know about the legislature expelling two members for protesting Tennessee’s lax gun laws. I think we also all know the two expellees were African-American.
Kansas: The legislature overrode a governor’s veto of a bill authorizing genital examination of any trans student who wants to play sports.
Florida: The legislature passed a bill for gun carry without a permit.
Pennsylvania: Actually, right now I feel pretty good about living in Pennsylvania. Our legislature hasn’t done much of anything.
