Patience my favorite. I love being patient, the longer I have to be patient for something, especially when it's an individual, fundamental, incorporated right, the happier I am. I get this unflawed character trait from my father and grandfather before him. whistle.png

That means 5 more people are jumping on the winning bandwagon!! :thumbsup:

 

Why did Michael Unes remove himself as cosponsor? Was it because he is sponsoring a different LTC bill?

My state rep Mike Bost was added as a sponsor the middle of this month. I called his office thanking him. It looks like Randy Ramey Jr. of West Chicago is the only sponsor near Chicago. I believe I counted 25 sponsors, have we had this many on any other RTC bill?

The times, they are a changing. Who woulda thunk it that RTC was 'the bandwagon' to be on. I would love, love, love to be able to get an IL carry permit this year, especially with the Thune amendment looking to become law. Otherwise, it's going to be a l-o-n-g couple of years.

The House has adjourned.

 

 

HB0143 is still showing staus as Second Reading. I'll check again later.

 

What do these guys do with the other 4 or 5 hours of the work day? Are they lazy or are there other things they are actually working on?

While I won't say they are the hardest working folks in the world, but in their defense, they do attend committee meetings, meet with and correspond with constituents, return calls, etc. during the rest of the day. What they do on the floor is but a very small part of their job. Oh, they also meet with the NRA and ISRA lobbyists to discuss RTC and statewide pre-emption!!

Who was the NO vote?

boog

 

I don't know but I see Todd jumping in and out of this thread. Here's an open invitation for any inout you want to add Mr. V.

 

 

 

WILL HB008 MAKE THE COOK COUNTY AWB NULL AND VOID?

 

By my reading there are several bills, some still in committee, that might impact local ordinance.

I just dropped a note to my contact at the clerk's office. He has always been good about getting me the committee votes. We'll see what come up. I'll be surprised if Mary Flowers voted FOR it. Actually is surprising that we got only one NO vote. That is encouraging.

I believe it's because Unes is NOW a Chief Co-sponsor. It may be Unes and Reitz wanted to trade.House

 

Remove Chief Co-Sponsor Rep. Dan Reitz

Added Co-Sponsor Rep. Dan Reitz

Added Chief Co-Sponsor Rep. Michael Unes

Removed Co-Sponsor Rep. Michael Unes

Thanks, I was genuinely curious. It has always seemed that they were there briefly and then out of session, I assumed they had other duties of course but was unsure as to what a normal day looked like for them.
