You really like introducing bills to make the debate more complicated and less clear.

This makes it easier to have two bills on the floor, that way debate can move along faster. Otherwise, we will never get through legislation in the queue.

Some reps already have difficulties to follow the debate and understand what's up with only one bill...

Is this next?

[cinyc]

No - that's already been passed.  I believe that the New Northeast Minimum Wage Act is next - regardless of whether we're skipping over Hamilton's bills while he's on mod review - since it's his next bill and the next bill proposed by another representative (Antonio V).
