120 House Reps and 50 Senators.

That must be hard to work with 119 other personalities.
In Austin,Texas there's 150 House members and 31 Senators. YES 31.

The "tradition" of the NC General Assembly hasn't been much of working together - more of a spoils system led by the speaker.

Legislators tend to interface more with their county commissions and mayors than with the general public. Most people probably cannot even name their Assemblyman.
