Good morning everyone:
Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend and taking a respite from news, although it didn't seem to let up until late Thursday. We had to really work to cobble this week's roundup together. That said, let's move on to the significant stories we published last week and other news you might have missed but need to know - including one sad piece of news involving a former legislative staffer that we learned about over the weekend. Our condolences to all who knew him...
