The carpet of the state Senate chamber is vaccuumed clean; the desks are swept of the papers some members will leave on top of them. It's been quiet since the Legislature adjourned last April; a few candidates, including Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, have used the chamber for televison advertisements.
But otherwise, the whole chamber is silent. Mike Murphy, the public information officer, said today won't be the busy day for them. Tomorrow -- with newly elected senators coming down and taking their measurement of the chamber -- things will begin to heat up. The office will create temporary nameplates for the senators; office will change once the leadership is figured out.
Those are business matters.
"I think like everyone else, I'll be glad when tomorrow is here," he said, lamenting "the tone of these ads."
