Excellent summary of the arrogance down at the Capitol. Unfortunately, it's not limited to the Democrats. Plenty of arrogance on the Republican side too (with some exceptions).

I would agree. I have tried to reach out to several lawmakers to try and discuss or get information, have heard nothing back (or a quick and dirty brush off). The thing, I think, that makes the Democrats more noteworthy is how much power they hold and how they've really taken fees and etc. and run with them.

True. But (and this is just between you and me) I'm especially disappointed in Kirkmeyer and Taggart. They appear to have fallen in with the Dems on JBC to introduce a lot of bad bills at the end of the session. We never saw that in previous sessions. Kim Ransom oftentimes wouldn't even sign on as a sponsor to JBC orbital bills if she didn't like them. It's almost a "Stockholm Syndrome" kind of thing with BK and RT.

Thanks for all your great work. I hope to meet you at the W(h)ine & Cheese at II. You're a worthy pick for the Vern Bickel award.
