The 2007-2008 Legislative Session is now underway. I have focused my efforts this session on five main issues, which I believe have a profound impact on our community and the Commonwealth.

Under the Legislature's joint rules, our formal legislative activity is scheduled to conclude at the end of July 2008. The Legislature will still be actively working through the end of the year, meeting in session twice weekly, but no further recorded roll call votes are scheduled after July 30.

Thankfully, my landmark legislation, which created so-called Baby Safe Havens, was passed into law in September 2007. A complete listing of my legislative initiatives follows.
