Jon Caldara is putting through a proposed initiative the shorten the legislative session from 120 days throughout the year to 90 consecutive calendar days.
We have 100 legislators. Each one is allotted five bill titles, for a total of 500. Of course, like the high school teacher who keeps allowing late assignments with no consequence, legislative leaders allow late bill status, which this year pushed the count to more than 700 bills.
Nearly 300 of those 700 bills were dealt with in the last three days of their four-month-long session! By law, it takes at least three days to pass a bill. They waited until legal night before starting their term papers.
How do constituents even digest a proposed bill when dropped with three days left to pass it and no testimony allowed?
So, let?s shorten the session to 90 days. If they still keep treating their constituents like the procrastinating high schooler treats his English teacher, let?s just shorten it to three days.
