Description: I'm expecting to have a very in-depth conversation not only about Ferguson. Ferguson happens to be the flash point. Those are some pretty entrenched issues we need to have a very frank discussion about. I hope to have it in the Senate. |
Democrats and Republicans both said Ferguson is a big issue. Bills cannot be filed until December first.
