It upped the penalty for disorderly conduct -- yelling at the top of your lungs, etc. -- near a funeral. What Steele doesn't seem to get when he explains his bill is that disorderly conduct anywhere was always a crime. This just differentiates penalties for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1168948782057130262007-01-16T06:59:00.000-05:002007-01-16T06:59:00.000-05:00You're right. Glenn Howard is universally viewed as a joke. When he does waddle to the mike, you can't understand his mumbling ramblings. No one--no ONE--goes to him for advice in the legislature, although he's right on most of the issues.<BR/><BR/>John Day is effective as a vote, but can't lead a three-car parade.<BR/>Nice man, though. So's Glenn.<BR/><BR/>The Democratic caucus is not blessed with people to whom others go for advice or leadership. And I am a Democrat. It's a sad story, but true. This old-boys' club almost scorns leadership and brains.<BR/><BR/>But, at least it's not BBoz running things.

Both districts are heavily Democratic as a result of gerrymandering. They are both generally supportive of GLBT issues, but they are not very effective advocates for the issues within the legislature.Gary R.
