This year’s legislative session begins on January 15. Some important decisions will made – on the gas pipeline from the North Slope, on major budget innovations, ethics and health care interests – all while trying to deal with a shorter-than-usual session length of ninety days. However, with today’s release of sixty-five pieces of new legislation, lawmakers are reminding the public that the routine business of the state will continue, too.
