mauserme Posted May 17, 2012 at 03:06 PM Author Posted May 17, 2012 at 03:06 PM The "Other Active Bills" section of the opening posts continues to evolve. I added HB4673 to the House since it's on their calendar for concurrence, but we're not actively monitoring that one. It's absence from the post caused a little confusion in the past couple days.

It's looking like it's going to be awful busy and exciting around here next week. Mause, you going to be here all next week?

I might be away Wednesday morning next week, but nobody should worry about my schedule all. I'm sure others will fill in. Let's just get 'er done and I'll catch up if I have to.
Milhouse86 Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:48 PM Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:48 PM I am not getting anything from the senate and the house seems to be not in session. Is there an issue on my end?
TyGuy Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:50 PM Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:50 PM Looks like they are still on a break. I know they had a 2 hour caucus starting around 10:30. My guess is that if that ended at 12:30 they are now out to lunch.
Milhouse86 Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:52 PM Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:52 PM Ok what about senate? I have the feed up but no audio. I know they turn the mics off sometimes but it has been a while.

Oh my gosh Milhouse, you missed all the shouting and chair throwing?? I think I even saw a gavel fly across the screen. No, nothing is going on right now.
Milhouse86 Posted May 17, 2012 at 06:06 PM Posted May 17, 2012 at 06:06 PM Haha now that would be funny!

Oh my gosh Milhouse, you missed all the shouting and chair throwing?? I think I even saw a gavel fly across the screen. No, nothing is going on right now. I bet in the past its been close to situations like that before. I watch some of these video feeds at times and I watch some reps literally attempt to savabage, stall, delay tacticts etc........ I see Reps get really irriated at accross the isle. lol
mauserme Posted May 17, 2012 at 06:52 PM Author Posted May 17, 2012 at 06:52 PM All I've heard are resolutions so far.
TyGuy Posted May 17, 2012 at 06:54 PM Posted May 17, 2012 at 06:54 PM Resolutions are not law? Just them saying they want something or the other done?
Getzapped Posted May 17, 2012 at 07:00 PM Posted May 17, 2012 at 07:00 PM yeah it is usually something like, "lets make may 17 tyguy day" or "rename a stretch of road after someone we have never heard of and we will need $50k to put up signs on that stretch of road!" Then they all vote like 117-1 in favor of spending more oney on something we don't need! at least thats how it seems to me.
mauserme Posted May 17, 2012 at 07:01 PM Author Posted May 17, 2012 at 07:01 PM I don't think resolutions can directly become law, but they can lead to law as we hope the Firearm Awareness Taskforce will. That taskforce was created via HR550.
