There are many voices in the senate and its easy for one to get lost in the crowd. However I would like to highlight one Senator who I think deserves to not only have his voice heard but to be applauded for his tireless effort in his efforts in reforming health care in our state. That Senator is Joesph Vitale. In my time following the legislature I haven’t seen anther senator who has with laser like focus on our health care. Not only today but the health care system we will be living with for years to come. So today I would like to applaud Senator Vitale. Below is a link to his Bio and his legislation.
