Legislative Update

We met with Rep. Chuck Hopson today. He is going to introduce our helmet Bill and he has taken his name off of Tom Craddick's list for Speaker.

Also spent a good deal of time with Rep Senfronia Thompson. She gave her Legislative officer our Equal Access Bill and told him to drop it for us.

We also gave the Failure To Yeild Bill to Rep. Pat Rose but still haven't gotten him to change his mind about Craddick for Speaker.

Stopped by Rep Norma Chavez's office and they said the Poker Run Bill would be ready next week but I'm not sure we can count on her any more. We will probably look real hard at the Bill to legalize gambling. Rep. Kuemple told us he would support that Bill this time.

We had asked Rep Deshotel to carry the Signal Light adjustment Bill but that probably will not get any where so we will be looking fior another author for that one.

We also spent some time with Rep. Fred Hill and he said he would be giving his Bill requireing riders to wear a pink Flouresent vest to ride a motorcycle to a Freshman to file this session.

Tomorrow the entire Legislative Task Force will be in the capitol and we will watch the Floor fight for House Speaker and they will see the really dirty side of politics to start with.
