April 28, 2009: Legislative Report #61

Bills + The Constitution = Order 

As we conclude the 2009 session I realize how little effort our elected officials concern themselves with our state constitution. With all the bills introduced for a variety of justifications, we need change. Legitimate change to follow Constitutional Law not the flowery campaign change of the 2008 election. When elected in 2010, I intend introducing a bill requiring ever-proposed bill introduced by a legislator have a notation on where the bill originates the authority within our constitution. I would expect the concept meet resistance, which is where citizens engage legislative leaders to follow the rule of law. Fun and challenging times are waiting after the 2010 election.
