Our first deadline is next Tuesday.

     That’s the day I must request that a bill be drafted and be guaranteed that it will receive a public hearing.

      So I began the day by reviewing the ideas and conversations – not to mention my dead bills from last year, that could become legislation and change public policy.

     The list will grow shorter.

     A problem has been solved.  My plate is already too full.

     But if I don’t introduce a bill this session, the leverage it provides will not return until next year.
