« N.H. police find former Warwick girl, 14 | Today | Nominations sought to honor emergency helpers » January 2, 2008Web links help constituents follow Assembly's workPROVIDENCE -- State lawmakers open day two of the legislative session later this afternoon, but the gavel falls simply to introduce bills this early in the session. Keep score of the House and Senate bill introductions on the General Assembly Web site. So far, among others, there's a House resolution calling for a special commission to examine the veterans home in Bristol and to come up with a plan to overhaul it. And there is an education bill named after the late Rep. Paul W. Crowley. Not to mention a resolution proclaiming the second Tuesday in January "professional pet-assisted therapy awareness day." Here is the House calendar for today -- one bill listed currently. Tomorrow, the House Finance Committee is expected to focus on the governor's layoff proposal -- though the online agenda at the moment lists a court procedures bill and no other activities -- in a legislative session predicted to be consumed with a mounting budget deficit. To scroll through the legislature's goings on, check out this link. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney, with reports from Steve Peoples of the Journal State House Bureau Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsJohn | January 2, 2008 12:58 PM link "Not to mention a resolution proclaiming the second Tuesday in January 'professional pet-assisted therapy awareness day.'" John, does that sound like WORK to you?? EMT | January 2, 2008 2:14 PM link Wow. The state has a nearly $600 million hole to fill in the budget and they were in session almost two hours today. Looks like we can expect more of the same NOTHING for the next six months with a flurry of unread bills passing in the dark of night in June. Not this year, boys and girls. There will be a taxpayer revolution this year. You think the unions can rally people? Wait until we start rolling. You think your constituents stopping you at the liquor store and asking "What are YOU doing to fix this hole?" is annoying? Just wait. NO MORE! | January 2, 2008 6:14 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.
