President Bush may be calling for more forces in Iraq, but members of the General Assembly are already planning a memorial to honor military casualties who have been lost during the “war on terrorism.”
Meanwhile, a bill that allows law enforcement officials to receive and apply for warrants electronically was passed unanimously by the House Judiciary Committee and will go back to the floor.Here’s a brief listing of the bills:
