Conference Committee Members have been selected.

Here are the members of the conference committee that will be working on HB 74. They are suppose to meet tomorrow morning.

Senators

Representatives

In my opinion this committee will not be conflicted at all on what to do about HB74, the civil union language will simply come out. Sen. Esquibel and Rep. Roscoe are going to be solidly in our corner and the other four are going to be solidly against us.

I would like to note that I've heard Sen. Hicks say to a lobbyist that he would support civil unions he just doesn't want same sex marriage... my prediction, watch him back pedal so quickly it'll make our heads spin! Much like Rep. Peasley did when he actually had a chance to vote for a civil unions bill Cathy Connolly sponsored (I guess he just changed his mind from what he said on the house floor the day before.)

Anyway, we keep working both the house and the senate and target all the people we've been targeting. I would like to hold all 14 senators that voted against it on third reading and try and persuade Sen. Landen to come back to our side of the fence.

More tomorrow after the meeting..... Jeran
