This kind of stuff infuriates me. McCall did the same thing to us last year, and it really upset me. Especially since I spoke with him on the phone and he assured me of his support for the Parking Lot bill. I'm in his district, so I couldn't wait to vote him out. I was so glad to see that he didn't run in 2010 and that we were able to defeat his protege and elect Taylor instead. But even with that victory, we've got another RINO running the Calendars and killing our bills just like McCall did. We've gotta get rid of Strauss so he'll stop stacking the committees against us.Charles L. Cotton wrote:This is the last day to pass Senate Bills on second reading. SB766 (range protection) is 22nd on the House General Calendar, behind 23 other items, excluding 3 items on Local & Consent. We have been informed "everything is okay." We'll see; I hope my skepticism is misplaced.
I have no idea how late the House will stay in session. Chairman Todd Hunter stated on the House floor late last week that the rumors that they would take a day off were false, because time was running out. He stated they (the entire House) would work every day until the session was over. On Saturday, the House adjourned at approximately 3:30pm and took off Sunday. SB766, a critically important bill with absolutely no opposition, sat in the Calendars Committee from April 21st until it was put on the General Calendar on the very last day Senate Bills can pass on second reading. My back is wet, there are no clouds in the sky, and someone is telling me it's raining.
