VERBATIM:  1) Health Insurance Exchange Legislation.  2) Senior Citizen Scam Prevention. 3) Sports/Entertainment Convention Center Facility Operations & Cooperation.  4) Telecommunications and Broadband Law Update. 5) Banking/Lending Law Re-Write.  6) Lockout Legislation? 7) Electronic Pull-Tabs, Minnesota Racing Commission, & Other Gambling Issues. 8) No Fault Automobile Insurance Update. 9) Omnibus Liquor Bill.  10) Ticket Laws.  11) Various Consumer Protection Issues.

Check out #4 – Telecommunications and Broadband Law Update. I find that encouraging.
