 Sisters and Brothers,

It’s Crossover!! This is the halfway point in the legislative session where all the bills are finished in the chamber where they originated and now pass to the opposite chamber for more consideration. I’ll admit that it feels good to be half done.

If an investor was searching for the country’s most explosively successful commodity, they might look to the ground for natural resources or to Wall Street for some new financial instrument.

Sisters and Brothers,

At the legislature, things are slowing down as we approach crossover where all the bills that passed in each chamber are then given to the other chamber. This coming week will start the crossover break.

Last week was a tougher week at the Capital in regards to Labor rights. The firefighter and police collective bargaining bill, HB – 1463, was voted down on the house floor with a vote of 23 yays and 64 nays.
