Today was one of those days; I had to walk to the Legislative Office Building (LOB) to delivery some fact sheets on HB6452 An Act Concerning Discrimination. It was a nice day for a walk, the LOB is only two blocks from where I intern, the sun was shining, and the temperature is in the mid-thirties.
I stopped off at the LOB mailroom to leave off the literature and then went to our mailbox to pick-up booklets on all of the bills. It was a while since the last time someone collected them and I was chastised for not picking them more often. The stack was about a foot high.
When you walk into the LOB, you can just feel the power. When you enter from the west entrance, you enter a big five story atrium with marbled walls and floors (a three minute video by the League of Women Votes) and you see small groups of people in tailored suits standing taking, these are the lobbyists. As you want across the atrium, you feel dwarfed by the immense size of the room.
