Minnesota House of Representatives will have first late afternoon session of the year tomorrow (Friday the 17th) starting at 4:00 PM. What is your bet on how long it will be?
Typically at this time of year, both Senate and House usually have floor sessions at strange times which isn't your typical 9-5 job. Sometimes they take long recess or on call of chair so committee can sort things out such as conference committees or the leaders meet with the Governor to resolve omnibus bills.
As a former session only employee at the Capitol, trust me I know how it goes and it is usually a waiting game to get things done. Legislature can be exciting and in past few years they have gained popularity with the general public because as what I've seen more people are paying more attention and it's like they have drawn more fans.
Not only worked at the Capitol and being a lobbyist, I also am a huge fan of Minnesota State Legislature. Good thing that the Legislature is open to anyone and it doesn't require tickets expect only if you want to go on House Floor or gallery ticket if there are hot debated bills such as gay marriage one year that they had or swearing in for Senator Mee Moua.
Let's wait and see what happens. What do you think of this legislative session so far? Which session was your least favorite? Which session is worst?
