And you might have noticed that that didn&#39;t happen. And you might have been waiting for news about that. I even tried to put a legislation tracker on the site so we could more easily keep up with bills like ENDA. (Aside: you&#39;ll probably have noticed that so far it is only working in Safari browser.) Even with all that, I&#39;d noticed that, well, nothing seemed to be happening.
