During the second week of my internship at the Louisiana state capitol, I did the same thing as my first week. I would get their in the early afternoon and stay there until 9-10 o’clock. The debate this week was a little more orderly as they were trying to clean up and finish all the excess house bills before starting the senate bills. As I stay there everyday, I am beginning to learn the names and personalities of the various representatives. They are all very kind and care deeply about their jobs as legislators. Even though most people are pretty divided on a lot of subjects, everyone is respectful because of their shared passion for what they do. As well as sitting on the house floor, I have also gotten to meet some of the insurance committee staff, specifically a girl named Mollye who goes to LSU. She is the clerk for the insurance committee. Here stretched is a photo of me in front of the insurance committee door!
