Legislative regular session through May 8, 2010

Typically, during the week I would report on one or more sessions of a chamber or committees, but due to an odd series of events (not the least of which was the weird schedule of this week and the chamber’s insistence on avoiding controversial bills) I wasn’t able to do so this week. So, into the week’s update of the good and bad bills we go.
