Reserved for updates.

HB1881 Criminal Law - Tech HA1 and HB4500 Unlawful Possession Weapons HA1 have been posted to a 4 PM House Judiciary - Criminal hearing this afternoon. We're neutral on both.

It turns out I'll be away from the forum, at least during the early part of session today. I don't expect anything threatening our rights.

The idea behind three readings is to promote open government in which the people can be involved. Even though they do follow a very technical adherence to the three reading requirement, they've perfected avoiding any openness. It's much worse now than it was under the Madigan/Curran regimes.
