The official "short session" of the legislature may not begin until mid-May, but the Honorables are back at work today with study committee and oversight committee meetings and office hours to have all priority legislation ready to go when they convene. Policy debates and the business of lining up support for bills was apparent in the halls today. 

The Joint Legislative Committee on Education Oversight met today as did the Joint Legislative Commission on Energy Policy. Wednesday and Thursday will also be busy on Jones Street.
