Not quite right

Today antiwar groups held a ceremony in the Capitol rotunda to mark five years of war. For over an hour they read the names of each coalition troop killed in Iraq. As I sat in committee down the hall, I could hear the gong sound between each name. Leaving committee, I was struck by the accompanying visual display--a circle of combat boots and civilian shoes standing empty.

...And then I caught sight of a video feed from another committee on one of the TVs scattered around the capitol for lobbyists to follow floor action. What bill was the committee considering? Senate File 3165: Animal chiropractic care requirements established.
