The Legislature is now in full swing and living up to its reputation as the ‘Bad Idea Factory’, as Delegate Mike Pushkin (D-Kanawha) often refers to it. On the bright side, the pace of new bills being introduced has slowed, but we are approaching 1,600. The break down is 1,055 House bills and 543 Senate bills. And it’s not all bad — there are some good things happening, too — like the rescheduled ‘Save Our Solar’ Rally happening this Saturday, Jan. 27 at 2PM in the Lower Rotunda.
We know it’s challenging to follow the session and try and figure out what’s going on and how to make a difference. But please keep up the good work making those calls to lawmakers on your high priority issues — because you’re the citizen in Citizen Action —and it does get their attention! And, if you haven’t already, please renew your membership so we can keep our team in action with you and for you. Thank YOU for your support!
