When I put my "adult" hat on and look at the Corona amendement logically, we as average CHL holders lost nothing. Yes, the elected officials granted themselves some big exceptions. I don't care for it either.Charles L. Cotton wrote:Please consider another possibility. Those who blocked HB972 were blocking 508 until the Carona admendment was added. HB508 is a major bill folks; it's impact should not be underestimated. Losing it would be far more significant than not passing HB972 in terms of the number of people impacted by its protections.Owens wrote:Charles, it may be helpful in 2015, but for now it does nothing more than irritate the begeebees out of a bunch of people that are fed up with the "good for me and not for thee" attitude.

Just playing a hunch here, but those that voted for that corona ammendment are probably the same ones that prevented 972.
Chas.
We need the good parts of HB508. To give a little for something that does absolutely no harm to the masses, to make a big gain, is a significant win!!!
It will be interesting to see how the House reacts to the Corona amendment. If it sails thru with no problem, would it make sense for a "Call to action" if there is a special session for HB3218? Since HB3218 died in committee, but we're about to see the whole house's response to an amendment which is basically "HB3218 for elected officals".
Just thinking out loud, but it might be worth a shot.
