| Description: "The House can move as quickly or slowly as it needs to be; we're much more nimble in what we're able to do." | |
Despite a complaint by state senator David Pearce regarding the House not doing its job, Jones said the House started to debate two new bills.
Sponsors of these new bills have asked for the weekend to work on them.
With no new legislation to debate, for Jones, there's no reason to have a full floor session.
