Greetings District 36. With the Legislature in temporary adjournment I have had the opportunity to spend some time reflecting on what has changed during the past 6 weeks, and what will change in our future. On March 12th, day 40 of the 60 day legislative session, we adjourned not knowing when we would be brought back into session.
