Initial comments
This looks quite a reasonable article at or about GA-level. I see that most of your citations are web pages; you have a book, with pages numbers quoted (good); and a 190-page PDF report with no page numbers - that will need to be fixed, but I will come back to that later.


 * I will now start a more detailed review of the article. It might take another day or so. Pyrotec (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Overall the article seems to be quite reasonable and is of GA-standard. I have just two points that need to be addressed:
 * Ref 9 is a 190-page pdf report and it is called six times. The relevant page number, over page numbers, should be quoted.
 * Both the Powers and legislative process and Salaries and benefits sections/subsections mention a three-month legislative period; however, unless I've missed it, the article does not appear to state which three months.
