If you can't reach the Legislature this week, don't give up. The Capitol Building is getting a new phone system and the installation is causing some technical difficulties.
A release from the Legislature said the system being installed by the Management Information System Division is state-of- the-art.
Dwayne Fraser, MIS director, said, "hopefully" the installation would be completed by the end of the week.
All numbers to senators' offices will remain the same, Fraser said.
He said the system was at least 12 years old and outdated. He could not say how much the new system was costing. No one was available in the business office, either, to answer how much the system cost.
A call to one senator's office Tuesday met with a rapid busy signal, usually a sign of technical problems rather than a normal busy.
But a call to the main number, 774-0880 was eventually answered.
