By Stephen Frank on Aug 15, 2016 08:15 pm
Our legislature works hard—very hard.  In fact they are so dedicated to their efforts that in a single day they heard 500 bills.  Yup, they truly were thoughtful, deliberative and held serious debate son each and every bill.  That was a joke—they did vote on 500 bills in a single day—my guess is that no […]
