[edit] Current Events

...what current events?

The election. Now that the old seating diagram has been removed, it may not be needed. I'll check and remove if need be. 68.39.174.238 23:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source for the claim about oldest continuous use

Can the image of the historical marker be used? 68.39.174.238 21:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewriting needed

This sentence needs to be rewritten to be understandable:

Unlike in many legislatures, there is no clear "aisle" to cross per se, as members of both parties sit partially segregated in five sections, which is then put on the legislator's license plate (chairpersons and party leaders in Green, non-chairs in red).

Aren't legislative aisles walked down more than they are crossed? How and why is a member's segregated seating section put on his license plate? What does "which" refer to? Is the license plate colored red or green? Why? Do legislators change their license plates as they sit different places?

The license plate information is wrong. The number plates change color every 2 year term to prevent members who were not re-elected from continuing to use the plates out of office. They give the user the right to not pay tolls, use parking garages, free access to state parks, etc. The title-printed plates for leadership do not change color and are always green. These are for Speaker of the House, Majority Leader, etc. There is no special plate for committee chairs, they use a regular seat number.Each member is given two sets of plates. Legislators are given different plates when they get a different seat, the section number followed by the seat number example, "3-24". Senate plates are always green and use the senate district as it's number. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.12.97 (talk) 02:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
