Wright special session begins
A few quick notes to set the scene at the General Assembly today:
There are at least 112 members on the floor of the House today.
Rep. Thomas Wright, who has been accused by investigators of disobeying campaign finance laws, misappropriating money intended for a nonprofit, using his position to bully a state bureaucrat into producing a fraudulent letter, and other unsavory stuff, is present.
Rules have been adopted.
On his way in, Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, a Republican who say on the ethics committee that has recommended expulsion made a few comments on the way into the chamber.
"None of would like to be here today. It's not a pleasant thing at all," he said.
