Day 2 - 900 Bills Already Introduced?!

H.O.T. Line
Here’s Our Take

January 13

A local radio station was doing a great civic good this morning by informing its listeners of the bills that would be coming up this session.

They had been told that any of the bills from last year that didn't pass could be reintroduced this year.

The problem was, they misinterpreted that to mean that every bill from last year had already been reintroduced.

They were already up into the 900s when Representative Pedro Marin (D-96), who fortuitously heard the much-too-extensive list being read while on his way in to the capitol, called the station and rescued listeners from the onslaught.

Gives you hope to see what happens when good intentions combine with good looking out. Kudos to both the station and Representative Marin!
