Accelerando: a musical term that means gradually accelerating or quickening in time. This describes what the last week has felt like and I know we will continue in this fashion as we finish out the last 8 working days of the session. Let me share a bit of what these last two weeks of the session look like by the numbers:
1672 = # of emails received on HB 292, the Jordan/Canyons school district equalization bill (they all came within a period of a week or so), winning the prize for the most emails, surpassing even the stream access bills
250 = # of emails received on a daily basis on average
15 = # of phone calls from constituents received each day on average
40 = # of bills heard and voted on during floor time each day on average
11 = # of pages in each bill on average
10 = # of constituents I get to chat with in person at the Capitol each day on average
8 = # of working days left in the session
Yikes.
