This is a "bonding" session. So how many new bills will be proposed. It's supposed to be a "bonding session".
Wouldn't it be great if McCain won the Presidency with Pawlenty as his Veep and Carol Moulnau would be GOV! Can you imagine the look on Pogemillier and Anderson's face.
Priceless!
Will the subject of increased taxes come up while we are in a recession? Increasing taxes will make our recession worse!
Will Anderson and Pogemiller be able to keep the outstate Dems "in line".
HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLETS FOLKS! THE DEMS ARE BACK IN TOWN!
I believe I am the fourth or fifth to speak. It might be obvious I think I have my own show, before they cut me off after about a minute. Any quavering in my voice is the poor quality of the radio you have.
No, the other monorail advocates are not family or friends, and the PRT guy makes us all look bad, PRT always does.

Not a bad discussion, taken as a whole.
You're right, they will be archived for Doug to get later on.
Don't tune in for me though, I spoke for a moment, and I'm nobody.
BUt how about Cohen, Paymar, Moua, Anderson............
Besides lunch and parking(OMG, they drive and not take public transportation) what else does someone who lives less than 6-7 miles of the Capitol need for per diem?
Maybe they should give up their per diem spend it "for the children".
I've spent $7,600 of my own money in the last 8 years, just in advocacy of SAFEGE monorail, with no expectation of getting any of it back. This night was $50 in cab fare.
Gary, I think the per diem is a way of balancing out the small salaries.
Tim, it's over $50 from the airport to my house, too. We NEED the rail lines!
