This is the annual post, where in the words of Colin McEnroe, I congratulate my blog for staying upright for another year. As I’ve learned, keeping a blog upright for a year is no small task.
My very first post was on December 24, 2007 titled “Hello”. Four years later, I’ve stayed true to my mission statement:
I’ll be writing about legal issues, the practice of law, Connecticut legal stories and really anything law related that interests me enough to write about it.
For 2011, my New Year’s resolution was to avoid writing “Bysiewicz”on this site. Aside from one post about the legislative changes to the statutory requirements to serve as Attorney General (which wasn’t substantively about Ms. Bysiewicz) I kept my resolution.
I’m looking forward to 2012. Through this site, I’ve realized that I really enjoy writing about the legislative process. In addition to it being interesting, our legislature gives me lots to write about. In any given year, only a few bills capture the attention of the media. There are plenty of scraps and interesting proposals that fly well under the radar. Those are the bills that I love.
The legislative process in 2011 was dominated by the budget. It will be interesting to see what 2012 yields as the General Assembly now has more time to deal with other matters. Election years are always interesting.
Thank you for reading. This site is a labor of love. In 2012 I hope to add to the discussion and to bring my readers more outstanding content from the Independent Media Network.
Happy Holidays,
Ryan
