Legislature convenes, state of the state address tonight, etc.

The state Legislature reconvenes today for a 90 day session. Many bills have been pre-filled including several good ones dealing with adoption reform, repealing the Alternative minimum calculation, military tax break, teacher pay bonuses, voyeurism, etc., and one particularly bad one mandating HPV vaccine for girls (I shall have more on this later). The State of the State address is tonight, 7 p. m. (EST). Click here to watch the address live from your computer. It will also be carried live on KET and satellite, with the following coordinates via satellite: Satellite - AMC 02, Transponder - 02 (KU Analog), Orbital Slot - 850 West Longitude, Down Link Freq. - 11740 (H), 6:45 - 7:00 (ET) Test, 7:00 - 8:00 (ET) Program. The Gov. is expected to ask the Legislature to use $50 million of the anticipated "surplus" to shore up the public retirement account. His opponent, Billy Harper, plans Education Day activities tomorrow, starting at 8:30 a.m. and ending at an event at 2 p.m. at Thorn Hill Learning Center.
