Another busy week, extra committee meetings as we near the first deadline and lots of visitors. Private College Day on the Hill representatives conveyed the importance of state grants for education. Homeless Day on the Hill had many advocates to address the issue of homelessness. JRLC Day on the Hill and Carpenters Council Day on the Hill also had people here to represent the views of their organizations. Advocates of juvenile justice reform had a strong presence, they were encouraging the passage of HF 1069 and SF 994. Advance Care Planning Conversations is also another topic that was brought forward. We did hear this bill in my Aging and Long Term Care Committee last week. It is encouraging to see so many people engaged in trying to solve problems.
