Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner spoke at our meeting Thursday (while Larry Levine, Cynthia Young, Paul Phillips and the rest of us listened, sometimes engaging in give and take).
As usual, Carrie went on talking for those who stayed after the meeting ended, displaying her customary expertise about the workings of the state Capitol. This time was mostly analysis of the budget passed last month. On education spending, for example, the governor wanted to eliminate the "hold harmless" provision protecting some districts' aid, but the Legislature kept it.
Most of the talk and discussion was about health care and its knotty problems, including very high malpractice costs for doctors, and a lack or workers at all levels of the health care system.
