Following the action!

With great fanfare the legislature has begun the session for the year of 2008. We have heard the State of the State speech of the Governor and now we wait, holding our breath for the resulting actions.
I have noted that just a few days into the session and our legislators have introduced over 900 Bills for consideration, with many more to follow for sure. Never to be considered a group without imagination, they have introduced such bills as unemployment compensation benefits when a person misses work due to domestic violence, (H.B. 2809).
Here is a link to the most interesting reading you will find, the link to all the bills noted above.
