He is correct there is construction, as we saw them pulling desks out of the House chamber last time we were there, but that’s not a very valid reason. Regardless, as I&rsqu [...]

The Special Session To Save Family Farms
May 28, 2020 04:10The possibility exists to provide everyone an opportunity to get a substantial and meaningful victory in this impasse.

If we can get consensus on a meaningful set of reforms, a special session can happen in less than a week and perhaps less than 2 hours of floor votin [...]
