Session Update: Week 7
This week in the Capitol, virtually all the attention was focused on the tragic occurrences at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas (MSD) High School in Parkland, FL. Thousands of students from MSD and other schools ascended on the Capitol to be heard on concerns concerning their safety in schools. This has been a game changer in discussions on many fronts. Along with gun control, leadership in both the House and Senate are now focused on this issue which include funding for changes and funding for the bulldozing of the school building and rebuilding a new one. This is one of the factors holding up budget negotiations, as they are unexpecting reprioritizing funding needs.
