I read the House calenders for the next couple of days and did not see SB1943 on it. From what I read on another forum (NRA), today was the last day for the House to consider a Senate bill. If that is true, then it looks like SB1943 might be dead. There is a House version of the same bill (HB2588) so I assume that action could be taken on it but it is different than SB1943 since that original bill was amended. If HB2588 was to pass, it would have to go to a Senate/House conference to hammer out the differences in the bills and then go back for final approval. There just doesn't seem to be time left for that in this session. The Friday calender looks to be reserved for the "Congratulatory and Memorial Calendar" which looks to me to be the wrapping up of the session. My fingers are crossed that SB1943 doesn't find new life somewhere and that time has actually run out. I know there is always a mad scramble at the end for bills and some very late sessions so maybe the fat lady isn't singing yet.

No, a good call would have been to my cell phone with at least an hour notice to get ready. ;D

Probably all that he could spell from his university was aTm.

Is that like the Alan Parsons Project?

Duhhhhhh!!!!!!

A daily bag limit on deer? Could you imagine that in Texas? ...and they thought the buffalo where hunted almost to extinction overnight.

As of Sunday afternoon (5-20-07), SB1943 is not on the calender to be discussed or read before the House. By the Texas Constitution a bill has to be read for three consecutive days in session before it can be voted on UNLESS they vote an emergency waiver. I would not see why a bill to play football would be an emergency (Hmmm.. football/Texas?) but who knows. The calenders have been completed through Monday and the bill is a no-show. The Wednesday calender also does not show the bill but it can be added as a supplemental bill. The session ends next Monday so if there is going to be action on this bill, it has to move very quickly. I guess we will see how much political pull this bill has, if any, very shortly.

que'?

The thing obviously doesn't work as intended and is probably in need of some vast gunsmithing. Thinking of the cost of labor, transportation and frustration I think I made a valid offer but I will go ahead and make it $100 just to make up for any doubt in your mind.

Yesterday SB1943 was sent to the House Committee Coordinator and was today sent to Calenders for a hearing date. No date has been set.

I agree. Next time someone finds a million dollars or so laying around, just donate it to the scoreboard fund and lets get rid of those pesky ads. ;D

Give you $75 for it.. cash!! I'll even take it now so you won't have to go through the painful breaking-in period.

According to the House calender, the House version of the bill was still in committee as of 5-11-07. Maybe the page has not been updated. The Senate version was amended from the original bill so the House must not only debate the bill but also debate the changes made by the Senate. If they are going to introduce the bill on the floor of the House in the next two week, they had better hurry. The session ends in 13 days.

28-3

Good season by LC-M. They started with almost all new starters and won district. Very few teams could have graduated just about the entire team and come back to be alone in first place.

I always borrow one.

Yet.

Whatever happens has to be quick. It is in committe in the House and there will be 21 days left in the session after today. There is usually a mad scramble at the end of the session with dozens (if not hundreds) of bills still in committee.

Nor Bridge City. The poll says the best 4A team... hmmmm.....

I leave for 12 minutes to drive home and poof...... Good job anyway by pushing BH to three games. Good job by Vidor having to beat Nederland in a playoff game for third place. Great season for the Pirates. Congratulations to Barbers Hill.

Pulling for the home district... and anyway, I coached Kyle Green for 4 years in Little League. I instilled those fundamentals in him. ;D

Come on Pirates!

5-0 BH, top of the 4th. Still time for that rally.

Three wild pitches in one inning? Ouch.

The wheels are coming off for Vidor.
