Tom, After unavoidable postponements, the Senate General Laws committee was finally called to order by the chair, Sen. Jane Cunningham, at 1:30 pm today. *We presented your witness form to the committee, along with over 1450 others!* By a vote of 6 to 2, they voted to pass the bill out of committee and on to the full senate. That's a major step! There is one more step -- the most difficult step -- to go. The full senate is where bills often meet their final demise. We still have a huge task before us. The president pro tem -- the top man in the senate -- will be handling HB 1534 as it is debated on the floor. Our main challenge at this point is convincing the majority floor leader, Sen. Tom Dempsey, to give the bill plenty of time for debate and passage. We have no reason to believe he doesn't support the bill, so we are hopeful we will have the opportunity for a robust floor debate. Friday, May 18th, is the last day of the legislative session this year. Please stay tuned, we will probably need your help again! - Ron -- "no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it" ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." ~Goethe www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.)
