Another day in Harrisburg with no movement on the budget. We continued to work through other bills and had another lengthy caucus meeting. I did a few interviews today and worked on issues for constituents. Along with a few other Senators, I went to the Farm Show building late this afternoon to see 125 dogs that were taken from a kennel yesterday because of violations of the new dog law. There were about 17 breeds of both large and small dogs. The dogs generally didn’t look in bad shape. There were some minor health issues reported to us, but most of the dogs were healthy. Now, I didn’t see the conditions of the kennel, the people this afternoon told us that it was pretty bad. It will be interesting to see how this situation will be reported by the Ag Department and the media.
