Bills Blowing Out of Senate

Posted by Rep. Cam Ward, on May 31st, 2007, at 3:55 pm

Well the bills are flooding through the gates just as I mentioned in my blog yesterday.

As we sit here debating bills in the House we can watch on our lap top what bills are being debated in the Alabama Senate. They just passed the changes on the February 5th Presidential Primary Election bill that will allow Alabama to actually begin voting early for the February 5th primary. While we still will not stand out on the February 5th election it will allow us to have a slight leg up.

The Senate has also passed the Education Bond Issue and the House is now voting on it to send on the Governor.

A host of other bills are now being sent out of the Senate for final passage.. You have to be on your toes during times like this because so many changes are being made right now that if you are not careful you can end up on the wrong side of a bad law.

It is amazing how quickly things are moving now. It kind of reminds me of the kid who knows he has a final exam coming up but refuses to study in the weeks leading up to it. Instead he crams for the exam the night before. Unfortunately we are the same way in the Montgomery.
