i. A partyline vote defeated HB 11. HB 6 is stalled in committee.
ii. There is still the possibility that something may be voted in during the last half of the
legislative session.
iii. Health and safety issues, such as water quality and availability should be a priority
for our representatives.
iv. It is very discouraging that we have spent $45,000 to meet funding agency
requirements, and if the bills do not go through, that money would be lost.
v. The governor can refuse to sign even if it is resurrected.
b. Democrats and republicans differ in philosophy of how to fund the proposals, although it
seemed to be well known that most were supported, including our upgrade. Homeowners are
welcome to contact their representatives. Locally:
