Caucus

Tomorrow's caucus calendar is posted on the Arizona State Legislature website.

The bills on the caucus calendar are bills that have made it through their committee assignments. The Republican Caucus meets regularly on Tuesday mornings to caucus the bills that have successfully made it out of committee the previous week. This is an opportunity to ask questions of the bill's sponsor or listen to others voice their concerns regarding the proposed piece of legislation. Sometimes caucus is the first time members read a particular bill, especially if the bill did not come through any of the committees on which they sit. With all of the bad bills floating around the legislature, I attempt to familiarize myself with bills before they get to caucus so that I have a chance to lobby against them, perhaps "killing" them before they see the light of day. After a bill is caucused, the bills are COW'd ( brought before the entire body of the House or Senate in Committee of the Whole), then voted on in Third Read.

The caucus calendar is a good calendar to follow as it is basically a great "heads-up" on what we are getting ready to vote on in with-in the next day or so. If you keep an eye on the caucus calendar, you will have time to shoot-off an email or make a phone call in support or opposition on an upcoming piece of legislation.

Where's the Budget?

While waiting for caucus to begin this morning I thought I would take the opportunity to post. No good news to share. With only a few days left in February and a budget crisis weighing heavily on my mind I am ashamed to say that there is no movement on the budget. The silence is deafening as focus on (terrible) bills moving forward in the process. The Appropriations committee which usually meets on Wednesdays has been cancelled this week. Appropriations Chair Russell Pearce just walked by; apparently the delay in voting on the proposed budget "fixes" is because the Senate does not have the votes. Looks like the House will continue to wait for action in the Senate as the budget problems worsen.

While Rome burns, we are reviewing over 60 bills in caucus. After we vet them I will attempt to post both the highlights and lowlights...stay tuned!
