Welcome to Crossover Week on Jones Street. Think the action’s been fast so far? Well, hold onto our elephant ears, this week lawmakers will be shoveling as many bills as possible through committee and out to their floors for a vote to meet a Thursday deadline dubbed crossover. The House and Senate rules say that bills that don’t raise or spend money or propose amendments to the state constitution must pass either the House or Senate by Thursday to be considered during the session. Of course, rules are made to be circumvented, so there are many ways to keep legislation alive. Dome’s favorite: Strip a bill that has already crossed over of its language and insert your bill of choice. ...

What a Girl Wants: Dr. Ben Carson By Faith Falise Let it be known-I have had a crush on Dr. Carson for just about 20 years now. I am from a gritty drug-infested suburb outside of Baltimore so I have been privy to seeing Dr. Carson’s mind bending medical feats reported on the local news channel since my early 20’s. And, after hearing him so eloquently speak at a recent charity event in Columbia, South Carolina, I am even more firmly convinced that he deserves my adoration—or at the very least my fawning and reverent homage. But, all this recent hullabaloo over Dr. Carson has me wondering why—why do Dr. Carson’s words now strike such an inspirational chord with so many other Americans as well? Why has my secret intellectual crush gone viral? For me personally, Dr. Carson is awe inspiring because I too grew up as a nerd-in-the-hood where poverty, drugs and gangs beget a culture of having to be tough to survive and where intellectual curiosity was scorned and mocked as being nerdy and a worthless personal trait to be covered up and hid.
