changes to state fair

Changes to state fair are unlikely in 2012. The lawmakers are most likely not going to change any laws in response to the collaspse of the stage. Some want to raise the liability cap by 10 million dollars. Republicans disagree with this and they also disagree with changing the laws because it was an accident and the officials should have known by the winds that the stage couldn't handle it. Just because of an accident doesn't mean the laws need to change. People just need more common sense.
