Outlook

When the going gets tough, you see what people are made of. I liked a lot of what I saw this year in the legislature and I got closer to my colleagues as we shared difficult choices.

It has already been a significant legislative session, but the next few weeks have the potential to make it a block buster.

I recently considered breaking up with Facebook, but I’ve decided there is a future for our relationship.

Earlier this month, my wife and I spent some time with her parents as they downsized out of their home of 46 years. Among their books, we came across a collection of future forecasts titled “Toward the Year 2018”.

We all need to process the events and that will take some time, but I’ll share some of the concerns that are at the top of my mind as a state legislator. I welcome your guidance now and at every stage of the process.
