:iagree:

not sure how much more of this I can watch
to be fair, over 2000 bills were proposed this year, so I can see how its hard to be up on all of them. But, if the aides haven't done the research to fill a Rep in on it, maybe he should get some better aides instead of asking silly questions on the floor. It's called research, and its kind of what you're supposed to have all those staffers for.... :smash:
EXACTLY! I don't expect them to know everything. I DO expect them to do their homework!

Some of the legislators remind me of classmates who should be in the remedial class instead.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

yeah, my connection dropped and now I can't get it back up again. was getting interesting debating amendment taking away ALL negligence from companies and Eiland was bringing up how contractors are getting screwed from both sides - can't bring gun (not an employee), but also can't sue company if someone hurts them with gun. very good point. seems like the senators who did their homework are finally showing up

For those of you that can't connect, the motion to table amendment 4 had a final vote of 70-70. They're verifying the vote now.

Pardon my ignorance, but when they substituted SB321, was it the version that passed the senate or the one that the house B&I committee tacked on the chemical plant exemption?
