term-limited senators have been taking turns under their personal privilege rule to say their goodbyes to their fellow senators...sniff
today, senator tom schedler and senator craig romero had their say...
senator schedler said that his passion is healthcare, some of his legislation didnt pass or it was unconstitutional, he said that the process always frustrated him and that he always wore it on his shoulder, hes seen the good the bad and the ugly "but the point is that its a process." senator schedler said that he is from a highly affluent area, per capita, highly educated and sometimes people in areas like that, get caught up in "my god cant everybody understand the philosophy that we have or you have?" senator schedler said that louisiana is not st. tammany parish or lafayette parish and its not east baton rouge parish either..."because if it was, in a lot of ways, we would be a little bit higher ranking than we are." senator schedler said that there are areas in louisiana that are thirty to forty years behind the people of his district. and uh something like people had to get out of their "silk stocking districts" to see for themselves to believe that there are louisianians different to them.
well imagine that,

senator romero recounted about when he was in his first year in the senate - senator heitmeier was having a crawfish boil up in the balcony (romero said that he and heitmeier roomed together) senator romero had his then 12 year old daughter hannah with him and was introducing her "to whoever is looking our way" when they came upon central louisiana's senator reverend b.g. dyess. senator romero said "hannah this is reverend dyess; hes the senator from alexandria." hannah just looked at him and said "a reverend and a senator isnt that a sin?"
