Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the state legislature has made the unprecedented decision to close for two weeks, from March 14 to March 30. Leadership stated they would reassess at that time, the adjournment could possibly be longer. I applaud them for putting public safety first. This is a prudent step with people coming from all over our state, the country, and even the world, being in close proximity all day, every day.
This morning I received notification that the state capitol building will be closed to the public on Monday and Tuesday, March 16 and 17 for a thorough cleaning. It is cleaned constantly during the day, every day, as a routine practice. This goes a step further.
