Good one

I always read Mark Brown’s Sun-Times columns, but today’s is definitely worth a plug.

Several bills are on this day’s agenda for the Environment and Energy Committee agenda. The hearing room is packed.

The room itself has been lovingly restored, its ceiling an intricate vision of pastels, but you only notice when your mind wanders — from watching all that legislating.

Legislating can be a tedious process, even for legislators.

Sen. Donne Trotter (D-Chicago) is playing with his microphone. The microphones are adjustable.

Trotter makes his microphone stand up straight. He makes it bounce. He makes it twirl around. How does he do that?

Just another mystery of the legislative process.

It’s a fresh perspective on the Statehouse and a very good read. Make sure you check it out today.

How did Mark Brown get on the inside page of the Sun Times.
He has poor insight and analysis.

Mark Brown’s qoute on Al Ronan was good.

His writing is silly at times.
