Folks: rest up this weekend because starting Monday, June 29th we need to continue our efforts to get Section 27C.2 removed from the proposed budget. As others at this forum have stated, we need to target the Democrats. I've put together a list of the Dem chairs for the following committees:

House
-Appropriations
-Finance
-Commerce, Small Business, and Entreprenuership

Senate
-Appropriations/Base Budget
-Finance
-Commerce
