Sen. Ross Tolleson (R-Perry) attended the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) Environment 2013 Spring Forum on May 2-4 in Denver, Colo.  The forum focused around hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, but also provided policymakers from across the country with the opportunity to exchange ideas on issues regarding the environment.

“As our country continues to explore innovative ways to utilize our natural resources, these forums allow us to meet and discuss what best suits our state’s needs,” said Sen. Tolleson.  “Since the price of natural gas continues to rise, we must keep our minds open to new ways of unlocking this precious resource.  By learning more about infrastructure, we can preserve our natural resources for the future while also protecting them right now.”

The 2013 session officially came to an end on March 28 as the Senate adjourned Sine Die.  The term "Sine Die" is Latin for "without assigning a day for a further meeting or hearing.”  Therefore, when the gavel came down on Thursday night, the General Assembly adjourned until January 2014 and wrapped up the 40-day legislative session.  Sine Die is filled with time-honored traditions and is a long day for all those involved.  Legislators and staff remained busy working until the midnight cut-off time to ensure a fully examined balanced budget and the deliberation of over 60 pieces of legislation.
