I promised to highlight the most interesting bills that were pre-filed on May 1.  Looks more like I will be profiling the least uninteresting bills. There are definitely some good…

Well. That was quite the morning.  Let me just say that I might be an unreliable narrator here, since I was there as a participant. And, yes, I won't bury…
