Alaska should consider electing a legislature the same way we pick a jury.  Call in citizens selected at random to serve on the legislature, ask them basic questions about their fitness to serve, and hold a public election of those who are fit.  It would be a citizen legislature of our peers.  They would deliberate on legislation and serve one term only.  This would eliminate a legislator's vested interest in reelection and likely increase transparency, impartiality, and compromise.  A legislature of randomly selected citizens could easily be as productive as the legislatures our electoral system now turns out.
