BEACON | FROM Page 18 on the role of U.S. senators and learning—by doing—about the researching, thinking, debating and compromising that go into producing legislation. Over and over again, we hear from our students who come in-person what an exciting and unforgettable experience it was to be right there on what looks and feels exactly like the fl oor of the United States Senate in Washington.” --- Caroline Angel Burke, Vice President of Education, Visitor Experience, and Collections at the Kennedy Institute, on its “Senator for a Day” interactive civic education programs for K-12 students. “Anyone who’s been traveling into Boston on any of the roadways into the city will know and attest to the fact that traffi c is almost back. I don’t know if that’s necessarily a good thing or a bad thing.” --- MassDOT Chief Financial Offi cer David Pottier HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session During the week of May 9-13, the House met for a total of 52 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 22 minutes Mon. May 9 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:17 a.m. Senate 11:05 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Tues. May 10 No House session No Senate session Wed. May 11 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
