Many of you spent today getting milk and other essentials before tomorrow’s snowstorm.

I spent today making bill drafting requests before tomorrow’s deadline.

If you’re late, your bill will get a late hearing date, which will not help its chances of getting passed.

On the other hand, a drafting request doesn’t require you to introduce the bill.

In response to a neighborhood concern about parking, I emailed both the relevant drafter and a Department of Transportation official to see if the problem could be resolved without a bill being introduced.

I’m not sure whether the state has the authority to do what would be required of it by one of my requests.  I’ve asked for a legal opinion.

Another bill would require interest group A to do what interest group B wants.  I’ll share the draft with A and B.  That could prod them to work things out.
