Local Lawmaker Visits Brown School "Senate"

It was only for a short while, but looked a lot like the U.S. Senate yesterday. 

Thanks to the efforts of eighth grader Jeremy Lewin, who organized the event, 90 students at the middle school yesterday formed a mock Senate, complete with Republicans, Democrats and a president.

Special guests and State Sen. Cynthia Creem made an appearance during the educational event where students actually voted on bills. 

Creem said that she was asked to act as president in the mock Senate. When a bill came to her table, she vetoed it, but the students understood their ability to vote it in with a two-thrids majority.

"It was amazing," Creem said.
