A Day at the Capitol

On Wednesday, June 18, 2008, we went to the North Carolina Legislative Building for a "Teen pact" alumni event.

As we were about to enter the Legislative Building, we saw a press conference about bills against illegal immigrants.

Once we left that, we entered the Legislative Building to watch the Transportation Committee.


The bill that came up was a bill to increase the speed limit for mopeds. The bill passed committee.

We then ate. It was a place under the street where we ate. They sure didn't underfeed us!

We then went to the court yard of the Legislative Office Building. There were lobbyists, there, lobbying for a bill to get rid of pig waste ponds. We got cupcakes. 'It' was good.


We also visited Rep. Paul Stan, whom we saw at the press conference, and who was also one of our other member's Rep.

We the sat in on some of the proceedings in the House of Representatives.

It was a very awesome experience!
