OK, while I'm on this local legislators press release kick, here's one I got yesterday from state Sen. Mike Waugh, R-Shrewsbury.
Waugh is a volunteer firefighter himself, so legislation pertaining to emergency service providers has always been something of particular interest to him.
I'm always getting press releases from local state lawmakers about upcoming events they're sponsoring.
So just now, I got this radical idea. Those e-mails are about local politics. And this blog is about local politics. What if -- stay with me, here -- I posted those press releases on my blog? Good Lord! That's just crazy enough to work! OK, here's one I got today from state Rep. Stan Saylor, R-Windsor Township. Usually, we edit these down for size in our newspaper, when we run them in those columns of two- or three-paragraph news items called "briefs."
Since I've got more space to work with here, and since it's not oppresively long, I might as well run this in its entirety.
I think I'm setting a new precedent for this blog, here. Man, I love it when other people do my work for me!
