DescriptionMONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama Senate has become a real life version of the Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day," with senators discussing the same bills day after day after day.

In the 1993 movie, Murray plays a TV weatherman who repeats Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pa., day after day.

In Montgomery, the Senate has spent each meeting day for about three weeks talking about the same non-controversial bills to extend the life of several state regulatory boards. Before getting into that time loop, the Senate had a different agenda of bills that repeated day after day for a few weeks.
