Happy Statehood Day!

Today happens to mark the 100 year mark of Arizona's statehood, and I'm quite lucky to be working during all of the festivities. Outside the Senate building there's a huge stage for presenting honors and later Wayne Newton will be performing to honor the centennial (prior to today I had no idea who that was). There is food out on the lawn and all of the Senators appear to be in relatively high spirits. There has even been debate of skipping floor session so everyone can enjoy the party, unfortunately that's not gonna happen. Still, there is a certain happiness about the office today, after all the centennial is a pretty big deal. It's a big stage for one of the nation's youngest states.

I just got out of Dem. Caucus and it was business as usual during the weekly meet, but after caucus was concluded everyone was stoked to go outside and see what was happening. Each week continues to go well here at the Arizona Senate.
