Pam Anderson at the Caucas

I worked for the Republican Assembly Caucus as an analyst. Some of the issues I covered were school aids, reapportionment, what to do with an abandon cemetery, contempt of the Assembly. I followed the state budget and attended long hearings on the budget. We worked long hours on days the Assembly was in session because they could be in session after midnight toward the end of the session.  The picture shows my desk on the rare time it was clean.  Behind me on the left you can see the shelves that contained the folders for the many bills that were introduced.
