MIDNIGHT DEADLINE 

Pardon me for ruining your day but HB 264 did not receive a vote last night before midnight and therefore died. When we we arrived to pick up the schedule for the House Floor yesterday morning there were seventeen pages of Bills to be heard. We were on page 15.
The war again began early. We took a break to testify in the senate committee on HB 823 and returned to the gallery. By 9:00pm it was apparent that most of the Bills on the list would not be heard and HB 264 would be one of them.Still we had come this far and could not walk away until the midnight deadline passed. With Da'Lady on the Floor and I in the gallery we finished the 16 hour day and then walked away in silence at midnight.HB 823 is still alive in the senate and we will see what happens to it in the next couple of days. Thanks for all your effort. We fought the good fight and will continue to do so.
