But...a big difference...
Representatives call Reporters back. Senators don't. Or at least the ones on the bills I need information on. I maintain this goes back to High School when I got blackballed by Victor Callahan 4 different times. Yes, HIGH SCHOOL. And then this summer working for Fox 4 he wouldn't call John Pepitone back. I finally say the man in person for the first time on Wednesday...and we played the staring game.
But seriously, the senator sponsoring the Amy Hestir Child Protection Act would not call me back. I finally got in touch with Senate Communications who game me the phone number for another senator who could help me out and I'm glad they did. I finally, after 3 days of making class, have the information I need to finish this story.
Now I just need to get away from KOMU to write it.
*phew*
In other news...
The capitol building is way cooler than I remember. The last time I was there I was a wide-eyed 4th grader who had just taken her first train ride from Independence, MO to Jeff City on a field trip. And, the experience was kinda wasted on me. It was an early morning, I was tired, hungry, and a little overwhelmed. This time around, 12 years later, I'd had an early morning class, I was tired, hungry, and overwhelmed. Ok, maybe it was the fact that I was a foot taller this time? I don't know. As an almost 22-year-old I was better able to handle the massive-ness that is the Capitol building.
