twitterFLASHPOINT for Jun 10, 2007
Sunday, June 10, 2007 | 7:04 a.m.
I have conducted post-session surveys of legislators and lobbyists for nearly two decades and I have never seen a landslide like the one for 2007's best legislator. It's not just that her colleagues and the lobbying corps believe overwhelmingly that Speaker Barbara Buckley is the best - it's that there is no contest. "You could probably re phrase the first question to ask who is the second-best legislator since Barbara Buckley is clearly the best," wrote one respondent. And that about the Democratic speaker from a business lobbyist! Another wrote that it was "not even a question." Her agenda, her caucus control, her brains, her toughness - those and other qualities were roundly invoked. Congrats, Madame Speaker.
