I’m down at the Statehouse today for Organization Day.   This the day we get a real feel for where people stand on the big issues that are coming.  Not that they are any big secret, but here’s what I’ll be paying attention to.

1. How will the sagging economy and job losses impact the state budget?
2. Will constitutional property tax caps go forward or stall?
3. Will local government reform get derailed by the forces who oppose change?
4. Will there be more a movement toward school choice now that the state funds the operating costs of school districts?
5. What irrelevant wedge issue will pop up (immigration, gay marriage, abortion)?

Let me grab my binoculars and enjoy the view.
