Sine die.

Lawmakers have finished the public’s business for another year, at least in terms of the formal legislative session where some good and interesting ideas were debated.

We had a couple of good summary pieces, so we won’t go into the nitty gritty here.

But suffice it to say this was a heck of an interesting session. The change in leadership seemed to be a very good thing.

The coming week will seem like kind of a let down. But if you need a fix of political theater, check out this video of Sen. Clayton Hee mocking democracy on the Senate floor on the last day of session. It will remind you of what you can look forward to next year.
