Just a note to let you know that I believe I'll title all of my posts from here on out with some of those inane catch-phrases that seep into the language. No better way to get it started than with this first ballot hall of famer.
Razorback day at the Capitol provided an impromptu pep rally in the second floor rotunda just before we convened today. The band and cheerleaders got the juices flowing with the Razorback fight song and William Tell (Lone Ranger) overture . It was fun for all and plenty of hog calls to go around.
Much debate and an impassioned plea by Rep. Steve Breedlove, a Church of Christ minister who spoke against it, couldn't keep the guns in church bill from passing on to the Senate. The vote was 57-42, with one not voting. I was one of the 42 and honestly surprised it was as close as it was. That gives me a little hope that the Senate may quash this on their end. We will see.
The Senate Revenue and Tax committee passed the tobacco tax bill out today, and it's my understanding there is still work to be done in garnering the 3/4 needed to send it the Governor's way. Senator Larry Teague paved the way in committee by providing the swing vote to get it out.
