Legislative Update

We met with the staff of all members of the Insurance and Transportation Committees yesterday. We asked that they print out a copy of HB 514 and HB 3277 to be read by the appropriate committee members and we would be coming by Tuesday to discuss the Bills. HB 514 to Transportation and HB 3277 to Insurance.
Would appreciate cards, letters or Emails to the members of these committees over the holidays. The address for all House members is:

Would be helpful if they found a pile of correspondence on their desk when they return from their Easter break Tuesday morning. We have only six weeks to get our Bills passed by the House. Your involvement would be appreciated.
We had hoped to be showing Senator Wentworth a list of those who have been harassed because of the helmet law amendments this coming week. We have received only one and that one was recent. We have gone to court or otherwise intervened in many cases of this type and are certain you haven't forgotten. This man is our key to senate passage of HB 264 but he wants to see some instances of riders being treated poorly under the current law. That puts HB 264 in your court. Can't use any of the instances without your say soWe will be in Axtell this weekend and in Bandera next weekend. While in Bandera we will be meeting with Jim concerning a Rally on his Ranch in 2006.
HAPPY EASTER.
