Steve Farley, the newly elected Representative of LD 28 is showing what solid constituent communication looks like. If you are interested in state house affairs, I strongly recommend you sign up for his FarleyGrams.

    Howdy, Friends o’ Farley…

[a note to LD28 PCs–I just realized you might like to get this email every week, so you are now on this list. If you would like the previous six emails, let me know and I will send them to you in one LONG email. If you don’t want to be on this list, let me know that, too.]

Wow, another huge Government Committee meeting. That’s two in a row at five hours plus. But I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now. (Even though I am suffering from fever and other effects of some nasty virus that is tearing through this place.)

The Government Committee, upon which I sit as Ranking Member, has turned out to be the showcase committee for all the big Republican policy pushes. Last week it was their efforts to gut the citizen initiative process, Clean Elections, and HealthCareGroup. (A quick aside on that–I am now leading the fight to save HCG after being asked to do so by the Governor’s staff who watched me go nose to nose with the Speaker on that last week.) This week’s topic: immigration.
