You be a lawmaker!

This week the legislatures in Georgia and South Carolina return for their annual rounds of lawmaking.
As someone who spent time reporting for this newspaper (and others) on the General Assembly, I like to think it used to be more entertaining.
There were more characters, and you didn’t know what they were truly up to, because they didn’t know what they were truly up to, either.
These days, everyone takes it seriously and the General Assembly often resembles a big Rotary convention.
Still, I think if there was any fun to be had, it would be in becoming a lawmaker for a day.
Just think, if you had the chance of pushing one law, one issue, one bit of lasting impact for the state – what would it be?
A cut in taxes? A law that helps children and old people?
Mandatory "Casual Fridays"?
Let me know.
Then maybe we can let them know.
