MY name is Gerritt Rosenthal and I am a candidate for Scott Bruuns seat (HD 37).

I followed the session...the good, the bad and the not so pretty

the good:

support for jobs creation statewide - "economic gardening"

removal of ban on religious dress

extension of unemployment benefits

report that OWRD is actively moving forwrd on water resources planning for climate change, and

two sessions (finally)

the bad:

failure to take up Kicker

failure to ban BPA (bisphenol A)

failure to take up river bank usage and abusage

the not so pretty

two sessions- we need it as evidenced by the fact that over 90 bills were passed in one month, most of them bipartisan...but the lack of agreement and last minute squabbling was embarassing
