Not Right

<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/09/05/news/state/21-emergency.txt">GOP-led chamber may pass emergency fire bills, then adjourn</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>House Republican leaders are working on a plan to freeze the Democrat-controlled Senate out of the special legislative session that begins today and guarantee that only GOP-backed firefighting bills end up on the governor's desk.<br />n<br />nHouse Speaker Scott Sales, R-Bozeman, confirmed that he is considering passing two Republican-backed bills Wednesday and abruptly adjourning the House before the Senate has an opportunity to consider anything in the special session.</blockquote><br />n<br />nThis is not the way the deliberative bodies of the legislature are supposed to work. I truly think the Republicans ought to consider not doing this. They all ready tried this tactic in the regular session and it didn't work. What makes them think it will work now. If they are going to spend my money in special session I expect them to do it right. Adjourning before the Senate can deliberate and vote on the bill is childish.<br />n<br />n<strong>I like children – fried. W. C. Fields</strong>
