The Legislative Session is Over (Mostly)

On May 30th at 11:45 PM, we officially wrapped up the legislative session for the year.

To be honest, I’m relieved to return to something closer to “normal.” Even with Caleb’s outstanding support—making a full week’s worth of work fit into one day—it’s been a real challenge. I want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all of you for your patience and understanding while I was down there.
