“If [lawmakers] change how they are dealing with these issues, they’ll have to admit that they were wrong,” said former Republican California State Sen. Melissa Melendez regarding why she thinks the state Legislature keeps passing laws that don’t seem to work.

Bills are passed not because they can solve the state’s issues, but because they fit into the ideology that politicians are pushing forward, according to Melendez.
