This Week in Statehouse Action: Luck Be A Lawmaker edition

Wisconsin legislators' bad luck, North Carolina voting rights attacks, some Ohio drama, and more...

I’m not a particularly superstitious person (although I do believe in certain election-related jinxes), so Friday the 13th doesn’t really bug me much.

Some folks dread the day, though, and I respect that.

Plus, I figure the cool thing about blaming bad luck on a particular day is that you know it’ll be behind you tomorrow, and believing that tomorrow will at least be a little better than today isn’t a bad way at all to move through life.

But state lawmakers don’t leave their fortunes to luck – they have a way of making their own, good, bad, or otherwise.
