MI House Liveblogging 9-29-07

It's 3:42 pm and my wife Charlotte and I are sitting in the gallery of the Michigan House of Representatives. We came here straight from MMDFA's meet and greet at Gone Wired Cafe.

As laid-off state employees, we decided to drive over and check out what our tax-dollar-funded lawmakers are up to.

Right now: They're up to nothing.

The Senate is at recess until 4:30 pm, and although technically the House is in session only a couple dozen of the reps. are on the floor. The only member present from Eaton, Ingham, or Jackson counties is Rep. Mark Meadows (D-East Lansing). I would presume that the House and Senate's respective majorities are caucusing right now.

I'll keep you posted.
