MM - if you haven't done so already, would you mind putting the word out on the Facebook page you have linked in your signature? I escaped facebook a couple years ago and never looked back...
Did you see who is going to run for governor? None other than Senator Sam McCann!
We're still alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just checked the bill's status page, fearing the worst. I was happy to find we have another extension until May 3!!!!!!!!Keep up the good work folks!!!!!!!
Curb your enthusiasm there, buddy....Since the bill didn't get a hearing before May 3, it was tossed back out of the judiciary committee into "assignments". So, back to square one. More banging on our local state congressmen to put on the pressure to move this bill. Did I mention we still had a a long road?
You got that right!!! My favorite movie quote: "Never Give up! Never Surrender!" (Galaxy Quest)Favorite song: Never Say Die! (Petra)I sent the members of the judiciary committee a scolding letter for not giving the bill a hearing. At this point there is finger pointing on both sides about whose responsibility it was to secure the hearing. But I have managed to get one committee member to commit to reaching out to the others to give the bill a hearing. Still no promises, just a little gasp of air. So keep hammering your own local senators and reps about passing this bill or making another one like it in the house. And hammer the judiciary committee to make sure they know you want a hearing. And, hammer Senator McCann and ask him to personally reach out to the committee members to make sure a hearing gets scheduled. (I get the impression he was just waiting on the process, and that won't get the job done.) Who's going to the GTA Gene Curtis Memorial Fun Shoot?
