Jim was pleased with the outcome from the Senate. Look for a thumbs up on the amendments. When I was there the other day he mentioned they’d worked out an amendment agreeable to both sides.

Yeah I don't see a problem here. They are in caucus to get a schedule for today right now.

 

[BigMoose]

Ohh no.. the house filed for a motion to dissent on HB 1177.

I don't know what happens from here... I don't know if there is enough time to have a conference committee on it.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right…

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

 

[BigMoose]

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

So that is why I feel that way everytime I drive down Capitol, Illinois, Meridian, Pennsylvania, or Delaware downtown and cross Washington.... I am stuck between two batches of clowns and jokers...

This explains a lot..

That is a load of nonsense.

 

[BigMoose]

That is a load of nonsense.

[BigMoose]

So its on the committee Grid. Still don't know if it will get a Conference Committee or not

[Destro]

So kill meaningful legislation to keep our kids safe because you don't like a glorified Eddie Eagle program tacked on?

Seems pretty snake-like...

 

[Mgderf]

That is a load of nonsense.

I completely agree.
Who gets to decide which "practices are best"?
