Last week was an important week at the Capitol, as all bills were to clear a substantive committee by the end of the day Friday, March 15. As of Friday, March 8, there were still 692 bills that await a hearing before one of the many Senate Committees.
Legislators were busy behind the scenes trying to shore up support for their initiatives, because a majority vote by a committee is needed before any measure can move to the Senate floor for full consideration and a vote. In Senator Bennett decided this was a good time to seek input from his constituents. To that end, he created a short survey that seeks opinions on pending legislation and bills that have passed in recent years. Please take five minutes or so to submit a survey.
