TALLAHASSEE – Just because the Legislature has been in town doesn’t mean they’re getting much done.
With the annual legislative session set to begin in early January, state lawmakers have spent four of the last seven weeks in Tallahassee for committee hearings, the first critical step in passing legislation and writing a state budget.
Yet in that time, more than a third of the 62 committees and subcommittees in the House and Senate have not considered any legislation.
Six have not met at all.
