The Senate floor session was pushed back to 1pm, (previously scheduled to meet at 11am).
The committee cannot meet until the Senate Floor has adjourned.
The amendment may be heard in committee this evening, or even tomorrow morning.
A heartfelt thank you to small business owners who are on their way to the capitol as we speak!
The thing to do right now is lobby; a common practice while Legislators are on the Floor.
The value of a face to face meeting is immeasurable.
Not only do you feel gratified that the Legislator is actually hearing you, but they become accountable to you as a person, not just another phone message or email.
Basically, take our short list of Senate Finance Committee members, and request an individual meeting with them. Request their name at the door of the Senate: the door monitor will pull them off the floor so they can talk with you directly.
Please call me directly for more advice on this stealth maneuver.
This practice may seem intrusive, but it is common place, and often the only time you can actually make direct contact with your Legislature.
Law making is a very tedious and unpredictable process, and thank you to all for your patience and understanding.
Thank you.
