Who's counting
So who's the most prolific senator in the 2008 Legislature?
If you guessed Sen. Lyle Hillyard, who usually carries more bills than a certain Micron lobbyist packs Jazz tickets, you would be wrong.
The lord of legislation this year is Sen. Wayne Niederhauser -- with 21 bills under his sponsorship -- and this is just his second session. Imagine what he'll do when he really settles in.
Just a question here, but don't conservatives usually espouse fewer laws?
Anyway, Hillyard, who has put more time in at lawmaking than anyone by Mike Dmitrich, is carrying 19 bills this year to make the No. 2 spot.
He’s followed by Sens. Dennis Stowell (17) and Greg Bell (also 17), Jon Greiner and Curt Bramble (both 16). Then there's Margaret Dayton, Chris Buttars, Mark Madsen and Pete Knudson, all with 14.
And the lawmaker with the least amount of bills?
Newcomer Sen. Karen Mayne who just stepped into the role of lawmaker following her husband, Ed's, recent passing. That low number was tied by Sen. Ross Romero, who moved over from the House in 2006.
Other senators sponsoring few bills are Fred Fife (4), President John Valentine (6) and Minority Leader Mike Dmitrich (7).
