It's early

I'm at the Capitol early today, as there is a full day of committee meetings. 

Some of the meetings today should affect South Mississippi pretty significantly, including the hearing on the Policyholder's Bill of Rights in the House Insurance Committee, which is today at 1 p.m. Also in the House, Tourism, Transportation and Gaming Committees also meet today. In the Senate, Ports and Marine Resources and Housing Committees also meet. It should be a full day.

Legislators are hustling to get their bills out of committee by Tuesday. After that, bills that weren't approved by a committee can't come up for vote this year. Out of the thousands of bills submitted each year, only 300 or so get final passage, so I'm told.
