Current Topics
The budget has been passed but the dealing with bills of our concerns is moving at a snails pace. 

We will see some attention of the Hot Topic Items such as the Crossbow  (Hearing on May 22), but what else will come up in a timely matter I do not know.

  Everything is lining up to be another end of session fiasco or items being rolled over to the next session.
There are two many dangers with the end of session trade offs and it is avoidable.
Looking at committee agendas and you are not seeing the Senate Encon Committe dealing with the same bill (Companion Bills) as the State Assembly.
 
We all need to contact our Legislators and ask for timely action in the legislative process.  The brokering of support for bills near the end of session is just not that ethical.  Bills need to be handled on their own merit.
