  1. IS there a bill number before either of those choices? Something suggesting a higher priority? Or will they revert to a more dignified approach, and make it a higher number like 2 or 3?

    1. I don’t believe there is; I believe the signal sent with either number is that it’s the highest priority of each legislative body.

      Heck, wouldn’t surprise me if they decide to amend the constitution to make it even harder to take that sweet flow of cash away from them.

  2. Corporations should not be considered “people” nor should money equal speech. The wealthy and these organizations already have disproportionate influence in politics and governance. It’s ridiculous and destructive to democracy that the United States and States cannot reign this spending in, particularly all the hidden money and manipulation of information.
