What do you mean? Is this the first time you've had a chance to see one of mausers legislative update threads? And if the proposed stuff you see here pisses you off just go to the ILGA website and look at the 7'000 peices of legislation that was introduced in the 97th general assembly.

Rep Bost To SB 1313
"It has been said that a politician is someone who votes for the next election and a statesman is a person who votes for the next generation. Ladies and gentleman we had better vote for the next generation"

This is not legislation related to our cause but I thought that was a good reminder from him and it could be applied to RTC. Representative Bost is a good man!
