URGENT - POSSIBLE VETO ON PARKS BILL!!!

[Fallguy]

So, anyone want to come with me tomorrow to the legislature and probably next week to keep working on this?

John I am out of town till Monday, but if this is still going next week I'll try to get with you.

56Fordguy I did not take you reply as a shot or anything. I agree with you.

I have had my say to my state representative and to my senator. They know where I am at, I know where they are at. I am not calling them anymore, no more emails, not this session. However this shakes out is how it shakes out. I am done.

Politics is a bunch of BS anyway. Right or wrong does not play into it. The will of the people does not play into it. Heck if will of the people played into it I doubt that the bar carry bill would stand a snowballs chance in hell of pasing. Put that on a ballot in a general election and I am guessing is loses 3 to 1 or worse.

John, I may be able to. Where do we stand on things? Did the Senate recall the bill yesterday? I'm reading conflicting reports everywhere. Is the original bill still on the Gov's. desk with today being the deadline?

I'd say its safe to say he's already started his day...He's going to be on the hill most of the day. I started mine early hopeing I could help today if called upon.

Honestly, I have heard several things. Last thing I got from John late last night was the Senate version was never pulled... thing is I dont exactly know what that means.

Right now Im as lost as last years easter egg.... I have sent out emails already this morning, but Im still waiting on John to see exactly what else is needed.

I'm in... When and where?

That is my understanding as well... Which means the Bill is still on the Governors desk waiting to be signed today.

It's also my understanding the Governor is heading out of town today as well.

That would give him political cover.... "Uh, I was rushing around and forgot to veto it."

Wishful thinking I guess. LOLOLOL

Okay, just spoke to the Gov's office. The bill was recalled by Rep Nicely, but the request has not been submitted to the Gov, as yet. They are expecting it sometime today. No one knows (or is telling) if the reason for the recall was a negotiation to swap the "Beer Board Veto" on the restaurant carry bill for the local park exemption, or what...

After the recalled bill is returned to the Gov, the 10 day waiting period starts again.

I wonder if the request will show up today or not since the Senate supposedly didn't concur on the issue? 10 day waiting period would start over again? Sounds like the Governor is trying to run the clock out so he can veto it and have the Legislature break for the year before they can override anything again. It sure sounds like he's playing games with us.

Just let this sleeping dog lie and let the chips fall where they may. And go for the override next week.

I don't think this is correct... If you watch the video from the "recall" the motion set forth was on a recall vote from the Senate the House would approve the recall as well.

I'm not an expert on recalls (they don't happen very often) but it appears as if both the Senate and House must approve a recall, and I can't find any record of the Senate doing that yesterday.

As of right now the bill is still sitting on the Governors desk and unless he veto's it, the Senate approves a recall, it becomes law at 12:01 tomorrow. Now the House may have given the Governor perfect cover for a veto but doing this...

If anybody has other information please post it, it's not like we see recalls on a regular basis.
