No senator "hissed" as the chamber unanimously passed a ban on
importing non-native species into the state — aimed at curbing the
out-of-control Burmese Python population. During the initial round of
debate yesterday, sponsoring Sen. Eleanor Sobel gave all of her
colleagues little snakes that expand in water. (No, the austere Senate
was not above cracking several middle school jokes)
Sen. Alex Villalobos, who has pushed the Truth
in Government Act, held up his snake today, informing the chamber
that it didn't work as advertised. Of course, Sobel and all other
lawmakers would be exempt from that bill.
