Is it just me?

...Or do legislators have way too much time on their hands? I thought they were elected to do the people's business. I cannot believe the matter of one television station missing from the more than 400 others is causing such a ruckus.

SENATORS WANT STATIONS BACK
“Today, we are calling on Sinclair to immediately allow Mediacom to resume carrying the KDSM signal in Des Moines market and the KGAN signal in Cedar Rapids until both sides have a chance to appear before the Government Oversight Committee and to resolve this dispute,” wrote the senators, including Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City; Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville; Rob Hogg, D-Marion; Jack Hatch, D-Des Moines; Wally Horn, D-Cedar Rapids; and Matt McCoy, D-Des Moines, in a statement released Wednesday afternoon.
They're all Democrats! What in the world are they wasting our time for? Health care? Property taxes? School funding? The budget? Minimum wage? And THIS is what takes up time in the first few weeks of the session?
“We are disappointed to learn about the cancellation of today’s meeting of the Joint Government Oversight Committee of the Iowa Legislature to review the facts in the Mediacom-Sinclair retransmission dispute,” they said. “Resolution of this protracted dispute is overdue. Iowans want this dispute to stop disrupting their lives.
Oh...my...God. It's either their stupidity and lack of something real to do...or their inflated sense of self importance.

Disrupting lives. I can't type anymore. I don't know what else to say.
