Another Breezy Day.  Not so much outside, but inside the Capitol, both bodies breezed through their floor sessions, simply introducing bills and not much else.  There were some notable bill introductions.  Senator Kevin Dahle (DFL-Northfield) introduced SFs 75 and 76, which contain all of the recommendations of the Facilities Finance Working Group recommendations except for the increase in debt service equalization.  Here are today's bill introductions:
