Got this email from the CSSA:
"Senate Appropriations committee today "killed" HB 1410 on a 5-5 vote. Democrat Peggy Reeves, rumored to be the swing vote, swung the wrong way. There is a possibility (pigs could fly!) that the bill can be reconsidered, but it is highly unlikely. However, stranger things have happened in the last few hours of a legislative session. We will be watching closely to see what shakes out, but the session ends tomorrow night at midnight." |

Marvl,
After I posted this I did an extensive search, it looks as if they took several votes the first 3 or 4 I believe passed, the second to the last failed and the last one was a tie. I couldn't make out why the differences, but these votes took place in 15 minutes or less. What really gets me is that Matsunaka will get all the mileage he can from his co-sponsorship of the bill, and he had probably made a behind the scenes deal to make sure it was killed at 11:59 and 59 seconds. |

WTF, they vote more than once on a bill???? Is the idea to vote until you get the desired result?

Quoted: What really gets me is that Matsunaka will get all the mileage he can from his co-sponsorship of the bill, and he had probably made a behind the scenes deal to make sure it was killed at 11:59 and 59 seconds. HB 1242 died in Judiciary almost two weeks ago. Although I didn't support 1410 for reasons I've already stated, I do agree with you that Matsunaka was simply after brownie points with his support of this bill. He is welcome to the publicity for his co-sponsorship of 1410. If he really believes that this will help him with his congressional campaign in the strongly conservative 4th congressional district, well then, he's nearly as stupid as he looks. I'm fairly certain that Musgrave will be occupying that seat in D.C. after the election. |

IMHO,
thanks for the link, interesting perspective. Yankee1911, I sure hope Musgrave can pull it off, a close friend of my wife and her husband just hosted a republican cacus meeting at their house, and she told my wife they think Musgrave is ultra right wing, that they were going to support the lawyer running against her. I need to get more involved in this race, and get others involved if Musgrave is going to win. |

Why, Why, Why? [>(][>(]
While I didn't think that this was the best bill I did believe it was a big step towards a reasonable shall issue. ie we would get a 1242 in 3-5 years. Oh it almost makes me want to cry. |
