The NEXT newsletter will talk about the governor's proposed budget.
The NEXT newsletter will talk about why the legislature unfortunately had to sue the governor about his appointees.
The NEXT newsletter may or may not tell you how the Senate is organized for the coming session. (It's taking longer than usual.)
This newsletter wishes you the very happiest of holidays. If Christmas is your winter celebration, may it be merry and bright.

If you're a Solstice person, Happy Solstice! The daylight is returning.
No matter what you celebrate, please enjoy this season. Call your friends and loved ones, even if you have nothing more to say than 'I miss you.'
Oh, and your mother, too. Definitely call your Mom.
