"UPS AND DOWNS" REPORT

Good news! One of the legislature’s antiquated elevators has been repaired (finally). We are now returned to use of an elevator to conduct the usual “Ups and Downs” of legislative business that requires motating between offices, committee rooms, and chambers spread between the six floors of the capitol.

Legislators and staff have, except for the few indomitable haughtily hardy, vacated capitol stairwells and returned to elevator comfort. Personally, whenever I feel the urge to exercise by climbing stairs, I use the elevator until the feeling goes away. That may account for the shape I’m in.
