I walked into the legislative building today and there was this eerie quiet all over. Usually there are people just hanging out, trying to grab the attention of various lawmakers. There is a certain excitement in the air, a low buzz of activity. This was not the case this morning. I walked in and there was barely anyone about; no one was sitting at the tables in the cafe and only a handful of members occupied the lobbyist room. Everyone is tired and simply wanting the day to end.
You see, today is yet another deadline. Today is the day that all bills, except those exempt, are supposed to be passed out of their first house. If your bills hasn't come up for a vote by midnight tonight, your SOL. Both houses will be going into their first floor session for the day at 10:30 and the excitement and fun will begin once again. In the mean time, the quiet is kind of nice. At least it gives me the opportunity to get some work done.
