A helluvalot going on this week.  Ian covers some of it here, including marriage equality, medical marijuana, and pre-registration.  There’s also a slew of anti-immigrant bills, including the E Verify bill that passed the House last week.  An important probation reform bill, discussed in detail here, is also up for a vote today.

And on and on.  The budget situation sucks, but I’m still somewhat hopeful that it won’t all be resolved on the backs of our state’s most vulnerable.   And we might yet make it out of this session with some key advancements on the renewable energy front, and on prison reform.
