Maybe I missed something

Gov. Bob Riley wants the Alabama Legislature to take care of at least 10 pieces of business, including the passage of a General Fund budget, during the special session that begins Tuesday. Some legislators are disappointed he didn't include even more bills in his call for the session.

The bills, which deal with everything from film production to landfills, are mostly uncontroversial and likely will pass. Of course, our lawmakers should have taken care of these things during the regular session, but in their defense, they were too busy filibustering and outlawing things that are already illegal.
