SJ 29 was introduced by Amanda Chase, a conservative. her intent was to make the voting more "electoral college" like for the governor spot.
Personally, I think someone needs to introduce a new system for the Senate - one rep per county, elected by county vote. that would put the state senate into conformity with the US senate, where each state gets two reps regardless of population. Then the House would be elected by population and the Senate by area, just as the US legislative branch is set up. It would make it more equitable I think, and prevent them from doing dumbass things like what they are trying to do now. See, nothing that the rural areas can't live with would get past the Senate, and nothing the population couldn't live with would get past the house.
Seems fair to me... which is how I know it will never happen. The Socialists aren't interested in "fair", only in "control". It's a Socialist thing - citizens won't understand.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
