The assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Painted college student apartments during summer break and mowed the apartment grounds. I worked during my high school summer vacation that lasted about 2 months.
My favorite holiday is Independence Day. This holiday is in the summer and I can either go to the beach or to the mountains or somewhere in between. It is a relaxing holiday and I am free to enjoy time with friends, relatives, or just alone and not have to worry about shopping, cooking, or dealing with the stresses that are associated with the other traditional holidays.
Atticus Finch - "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Photo taken 12/07/1972 from NASA's Apollo 17 mission to the moon. This photo shows a full earth with Saudi Arabia, Africa, and Antarctica facing the camera. This photo lacks geographic or political boundaries and reminds me that we all live on a fragile blue sphere that we call "home". Appropriate stewardship of the earth's natural resources is vital to our future survival.
"Hallelujah" - by Leonard Cohen
Decaying infrastructure; schools, roads, bridges, etc.
The senate and the house role legislate (being part of the legislative branch). Of course the governor has veto powers and can override a bill. The legislature can then (with enough votes) can override the veto. The two roles should never mingle...legislators do not have executive powers and vice versa. The roles should remain clear.
Yes, it is beneficial to good relationships with other legislators because it takes support from several people to get a bill passed in the house and then in the senate.
Non-partisan individuals that will be fair and equitable in redistricting the state.
