This website makes it easy to see what bills a committee is considering, as well as the testimony that witnesses are providing, and …

“Fee Bill” amendment scales back increases on small restaurants
Last week, working with a small group of bipartisan legislators, I successfully amended the annual fee bill. I've since been told that can be tough to do.

One of us attended a one-room school, one of us attended a bigger elementary school, both of which met all of our …
