You do have to wonder why Kasha Kelley's stalking bill, which sailed through the House, hasn't gotten quick attention from the Judiciary committee. Kasha suspects Greta Goodwin, a potential political opponent in November, has held it up for political reasons. Greta says its just the timing of handling lots of bills on that committee.
Word is that it will get pushed through committee when the Legislature returns, starting next week. Frankly I think it would be a political loser for Greta to hold it up this year, considering local support for it.
Kasha has not yet said she will run against Greta. Certainly having a new baby will factor into her decision. There's some speculation that Kasha will wait until the June 10 deadline to file against Greta so that nobody else files for her (Kasha's) 79th district, and then the GOP can bring forth their candidate of choice with nobody to oppose them.
In this case, the Democrats would need to find somebody fairly soon to run for the 79th. They failed to find anybody at all last time, when Kasha ran unopposed for her second term.

There sure is a lot of Kasha Kelly lovin' in this newspaper. So much for fair and balanced.
If you look carefully, you are very wrong. Greta is the favorite daughter of the editors.
