The state Senate president pro tem -- he who bloggeth -- adds some numbers to the legislative session going on under the Gold Dome:
* In the two year session, 1,956 bills have been introduced (or an average of 8.3 per legislator). There have been 2,632 resolutions introduced (or 11 per member). Most resolutions are just commending people and don't take any time. Some are constitutional amendments.* Not counting today or Day 30, we have passed 437 bills leaving 1,500 still alive (at least for the next 2 days). We have passed 1,534 resolutions leaving 1,078 floating around.
