I have grown so very tired of being used as a "wedge" issue. What is the climate like as far as that amendment resurfacing, and which legislation is it most likely to get attached to? What are the odds that it will actually make it into law? Why can't the legislature focus on what needs to be done instead of scoring political points by beating up on a 1-10% minority of the population?

But some people can still get pretty slap-happy after fourteen straight hours in the Statehouse. Staying in for dinner does help with that problem, Doug.

I recall session days where the legislators broke for dinner and a few came back pretty drunk. We got some interesting bill requests those evenings, but that's probably not the best way to consider legislation. It’s probably for the best that you guys went the boxed dinner route.
