Today is a little exciting because of the primaries at the Senate. Many people, including fellow pages, have or are going to vote today for the candidate they are most confident in for President. It's a pretty big deal, as many big time names have shown up here at the Senate. CNN as well as Fox News are both camping outside the complex in the Wesley Bolin Plaza, where there is lots of tents and places with free food.
The atmosphere today is pretty crazy around the office, a good majority of my co-workers identify with the Republican party so it's a big deal. A few got up bright and early and went to submit a ballot before work. Democratic Caucus was also particularly interesting today
Although it was short, there was debate regarding a bill under consideration that makes unemployed workers have to pay for a drug test themselves. Needless to say that many of the Democrats were unhappy with the bill and it is unclear what the reaction will be in Floor Session. I was in the appropriations committee when the bill was proposed, and even then there was a good amount of controversy. It will be interesting to see where this goes. There is never a truly dull moment here at the Senate.
