THE QUITE


BEFORE THE SPEECH

For the first time in well over a month things were very, very quite at the State Capitol. Oh, people were busy, reporters were reporting and the impeachment panel was busy interviewing lawyers, but it just had a low key, dare I say almost normal feel in the halls of the Capitol. It hasn't felt that way in over a month. I even heard a few reporters talking about the BUDGET!

THE SPEECH
The most anticipated speech in the history of state politics is a day away. But I'm getting late word that the guv won't be saying much in his speech about his problems....a passing reference at best. He plans to stick to the nuts and bolts of government in his address. He'll leave the political spin of his speech and the politics of his speech to others. And you know there will be plenty of spin!

SECURITY
If you want to catch the guv's speech on Wednesday, you better have a press pass. Capitol Police will be keeping spectators and possible hecklers far, far away
