Thursday, March 3

The last day of my workweek was slow.  In the morning, HF 132, HF 299, HF 190, HF 363, and HF 271 were all passed with almost no debate.  Like I said before, click on them, read their titles, and read more if it seems interesting.  On Monday there is a public hearing on collective bargaining.  I am still unclear as to the details of it or to which house file it corresponds. 

Next week debate is scheduled each afternoon at 1:00 - it will be fun to listen to something while I'm at the Sergeant at Arms desk.  I talked with a legislator about his opinion on debate; he said that he believes it's essentially pointless because reps make up their minds on a bill while they're in caucus.  I suppose that's true.
