Do we need another law?

You may think we already have enough laws on the books. However, the General Assembly, which adjourned last Friday, passed 229 new bills. Statistics compiled by Gerry Cohen, who heads the General Assembly’s bill drafting division and is a big ice hockey fan, show that 116 are already law with the remaining 113 pending on Gov. Mike Easley’s desk.
The 2008 figures are actually smaller than the number of bills passed by the short session in 2006. That year, 264 bills passed.
