So, I just started as a Research Assistant for one of my prof's, and I have discovered something rather profound: our state government is goofy. They make the silliest mistakes...and the strangest revisions to laws.
For example, the House and Senate will pass bills with different wording! Um, didn't we learn about the good ol' conference committee in like, 5th grade government?? They are suppose to pass the same bill!! Section 761 on Removal in the Probate Code has TWO versions from the House and one from the Senate, with different days for time of removal! Insane. Wasn't anyone paying attention? No, not even the governor, who signed all three bills.
I guess this is why some people call legislative units Money Business.
Who am I anyway?

- I grew up in DFW (Dallas and then Richardson). I did my undergrad at UTA in Political Science with a minor in English. I worked as an English tutor for about 3 years then went to law school at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. I met my husband during my 2nd year...and I absolutely adore him! We moved to Grand Forks, ND after he finished his doctoral degree. We really love it up here...SO much nicer than Lubbock. I can't wait to see what the far North has in store for this southwestern gal.
