Shea Andersen: At the Roundhouse

Casual Sunday

It's Sunday at the Roundhouse, with lawmakers from both chambers holding floor sessions today.

Sundays are the closest the Capitol gets to "casual Fridays," with lawmakers and lobbyists and other participants dressing a little more loosely.

In the House, it's leather sportcoats that make the lawmaker today: Republican Rep. Don Tripp of Socorro and Democratic Reps. John Heaton of Carlsbad and Gail Beam of Albuquerque all wearing some form of the groovy leather today.

Bluejeans and boots are also common sightings in the House.

But over in the Senate, they're dressed for deliberatin', with nary a tie out of place. There are, per New Mexico style, a few bolo ties out there.
