All.
I
just learned….HB 137 passed the Senate committee this morning and has
been put on the consent calendar where it will be included with other bills
expected to pass! Jackie Darling, Karen Leek, Dewey Crawford, and
Vanessa Breeding were able to attend the meeting this morning to represent our
cause. Thank you to everyone who took the time to make those phone calls
to representatives and senators.
As
recently as yesterday afternoon, we were told this bill may not go before the
committee this session. This illustrates the importance of a grass roots
network, as we know legislators received messages from many constituents, which
obviously had a significant impact. Please keep this in mind as you
consider calling your representatives in Congress, as we have several Kentucky
representatives who have not yet signed on in support of the CARE bill, including
Geoff Davis and Ben Chandler. The volume of calls can have an impact, as
witnessed here in Kentucky.
Once
our Kentucky bill passes the entire Senate, I will send additional information
about what to expect in the coming months. Thanks again for all that you’ve
done and let me know if you have any questions.
