Unofficial Voice of the Utah Senate Majority

Lots of bills this session.
Here's ninja staffer Jerry Howe as quoted in today's UPD: “It comes as only a slight exaggeration when legislators compare a general session to drinking water from a fire hose! At this point in the session, the Legislature has more bill files opened (1,029), more bills numbered (434), and more bills assigned to committee (409), than it has had in any session in recent memory, and perhaps even in the history of the State.”1) We want to give each bill due consideration, and 2) We need to finish our work by the stroke of midnight on the 45th day of session (March 5th). So President Valentine asked the senate to work late tonight. All parties agreed. We got a lot done. Audio and video of evening floor time are archived here (see "Part Two" on the bottom half of the page).
