weekly legislative update

This week there was a great deal of paper shuffling, things introduced, moved, tabled, etc. The house and senate are considering some bills that passed in the other chamber.

Two bright spots on the legislative tracking front: for federal legislation watch plogress (see link listing at the right). For state legislation, Philly's own state Rep. Mark Cohen started a blog in March that provides some details on legislation under consideration, also added to my link list. I think this is fantastic and hope more legislators will start similar blogs or other resources. Kudos to Rep. Cohen!
