I am here at the State Government Forum and I will providing updates on all the fun events of the night here in Grainger.
7:00pm: We are just waiting to get started the legislators have arrived and we are just waiting for the audience to settle.
7:05pm: People are taking their seats and we are ready to get things rolling. Turnout isn't bad but considering how often complain about state government I would have expected to see a few more here.
7:20pm: The first question we have is about land use issues to Rep. Berceau: She is speaking about the idea of community structure and ideas about how the different components of the community really define the structure. This issue really has not been dealt with extensively by the state legislator, much of it has been left to local communities.
7:30pm: A question about constituencies and how the democratic party is moving closer to and farther away from traditional groups. Rep. Pocan: He is speaking on the current trend in the republican party of moving toward the extreme and in doing so is losing some of their support. Sen. Miller has posed the question back to the audience as to whether is there is a sense of dissatisfaction among students of our generation. Rep. Parisi is emphasizing the importance of politics to students, it really does matter to us. We need to create an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to succeed. He goes on to say that we need to refocus our efforts on the American Dream by making sure that students have access to the things they need to be successful. He asks about the priorities of Republicans in power specifically their lack of support for the university in their version of the budget.
