This is day-to-day shit politicians have to vote on. Went to my state capitol to protest as a senior. Blew me away how fast they were cranking through the votes.

“On proposal $X, <very short descriptive blurb>, all those in favor?”

We see headlines like this because it’s so ridiculous. But it’s just the daily grind to legislators.

Who knows what concession(s) they got for bringing this dumb issue to the table? Maybe a concession on one of the issues you noted?
