Halftime report from State Senate

It is transmittal time in Helena which means the legislature has completed half of the 61st session.  The bills that have been approved by the Senate now move to the House for debate and vice versa. If a bill passes both the Senate and the House, it then goes to the governor for either his signature or his veto. During this session, I predict the governor will do a little of both. Overall, the session in the Senate has been both cordial and respectful of opposing views. I have read hundreds of e-mails and received a countless number of phone messages asking me to either support or oppose bills. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every citizen who has actively participated in the democratic process.
