This year’s House session proved to be an interesting one. From extremely controversial bills to an almost-impeachment of the Speaker of the House, the floor was definitely full of surprises. The daily discussion was lively and exciting; bills regarding such topics as euthanasia, civil union, and Hannah Montana merchandise were discussed. Committees went smoothly, but some representatives felt that the docket was too spread apart, as several of the bills up for discussion did not require the allotted time for conversation. Enthusiastic lobbyists played a large roll in committee, providing important points and humorous tidbits for representatives. Although Tim Seery was on the plank for impeachment, most members of the chamber felt that he did a great job. As House member Dani Clark said, “I found it kind of humorous, but I expected someone to almost get impeached. Tim handled it well.”
The House of Representatives is a huge entity at Youth Legislature, acting as a breeding ground for intense discussion and our future politicians. Congratulations to all those who participated in the House this year; your hard work has not gone unnoticed!
