Despite distractions today, the House passed 64 bills on Consent and voted on more than 40 bills on the Regular Calendar. Thank you to my colleagues for staying focused and finishing our legislative business on time tonight. The countless hours you give do not get enough mentions.
As a reminder, the safety and well-being of House Members, staff, press and the visiting public has been my top priority. Under Republican leadership, with the guidance of House and Joint Staff, we have created the position of Director of Safety Services. We welcomed Director Christopher Vetter \u2013 who brings more than 30 years of invaluable law enforcement experience \u2013 in March to expand our existing team of talented Protective Services staff. Since coming on board, he has been working extensively with federal, state and local safety partners to enhance security measures at the State House Complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
