HB1907 - Out of the Record

[mauserme]

The House is delayed until 1:00 PM

[mauserme]

The Senate is in recess to the call of the chair for the purpose of a 30 minute Republican caucus.

[Jeffrey]

All of us sincerely appreciate the work you put into these threads daily, Mauser.  With that said, where the *&^*#$! is the big one that we are waiting for.  My patience was lost years ago.

Or, just "Back"...

[mauserme]

Something is up with HB1907 but my feed is too choppy to tell what.

[mauserme]

The House has convened.

[mauserme]

My feed for the House is a little more reliable.  Can someone take the Senate?

[Drylok]

I've lost my patience too guys but we have to understand this is the most high profile bill in IL history and will be national news when it goes so we know they're going to drag it out until the last possible second. I found that it helps to just accept that it isn't going to happen until we get a decision from SCOTUS that way if it happens sooner than that it will be a pleasant surprise

[Drylok]

I'll get the senat mause

[Talonap]

Senate taking a break or somethiing - didn't get all of what was said.

Edited by Talonap, 24 May 2012 - 01:15 PM.

Are they even going to call a carry bill this year? Is there a way to make them call the bill?

[mauserme]

SB1034 was possible called in the House but is not in debate.

[Drylok]

No we can't make them call a bill although the sponsor which in the case of 148 is Brandon Phelps technically can call it any time he wants. But he won't call it until Vandermyde tells him to because we have to get all of our ducks in a row such as the task force report and garnering those last 2 or 3 votes to pass it.

Who isn't?

Drylok, I do like your thought of just waiting for the SC to throw the book at our AG.  If something happens before then, bonus.  But as Buz said, tired of waiting...
