2011 First Special Legislative Session

Day 22 Update - Ok, so let's talk about how epically bad today's session was. We started at 1:00 pm and caucused on four bills, three of which were heard today in the Ways and Means Committee and weren't on the calendar to run ... nice opportunity for the public to provide input on those bills. We ended up running two of the bills and went back to caucus only to find out the Democrat Majority adjourned the season while we were still in Caucus! Many of us spent more time in our vehicles traveling to Olympia than we actually spent working on the People's business in Olympia! Really, really nice. If there was ever a shining example of what failed leadership leads to it was demonstrated by the Democrat Majority in Olympia today. Not counting mileage, the two bills actually voted on today cost the taxpayers $4,410 per bill. The hits just keep on coming.

Now we're scheduled to be back in Olympia next Monday through Wednesday for the end of the first Special Session.
