Tuesday, March 15

Today was a... slow day.  There were committee meetings until 3:00.  Then, HF 345, HF 462, HF 537, HF 563, HF 592, HF 562, HF 540, and HF 617 were all debated and passed.

I have noticed that after a bill leaves its committee (and sometimes before), there is a... lack of bipartisanship.  Pretty much every amendment proposed by a Democrat fails.  Now, this could be for any number of reasons, but what does reason is that some minor amendment may move the bill forward in the Senate when it would otherwise die.
