The Games We Play

I went to the "Eggs and Issues" forum Saturday morning and listened to our legislators talk about different issues. The one thing that I picked up on is how the Senate won't allow certain bills forwarded by the House to come to the floor for a vote, or how the House won't let certain bills come out of committee. So I think we can see why things don't change. I don't know why the label of being in one party or the other removed the ability to work together. Do we really lose something if we were to cross party lines? Why does there even have to be a line? It would be an interesting experiment for two different party members to quietly switch bills and see if the vote would completely reverse. Politics, Bah Humbug
