Women beater @JeannCLugo needs to be in jail. Shame on this unhinged train wreck and the cops for not immediately arresting him. Sending love to my sister @JenRourke29.

Just dropped at the end of session: Gun control opponents (and Rep. Williams) have two new proposals: One bans the sale of first person shooter video games to minors. One requires school uniforms in all schools.
