Lt. Governor, isn’t that the guy that gets the Governors parking validated? Not a lot of power in that position, Lt. Governor is like the Appendix of state government, you really don’t notice it until it becomes and irritation and then you find you can do just fine without it.

The lieutenant governor is the President of the Senate and wields considerable power. As the only "full-timer" in the state senate, he sets the agenda and greases the skids for the governor's agenda before the senators arrive for their brief session -- over which the lieutenant governor presides. It is not a glamorous position, but it is a powerful one.
