Issues at the Statehouse are beginning to reach a fever pitch. This is usually the point in session where legislative priorities boil off and we see what is left. We saw this with the omnibus gaming bill and the bias crimes debate. Some things, however, are still very much in flux, and will remain so until the moments leading up to the final gavel for this year’s legislative session.

Week twelve was indeed one of our busiest at the Legislature. The Statehouse is the proverbial horse who has seen the barn, running towards sine die, or final adjournment, on or before April 29th (by state statute).
