Please respond NOW. Sorry for this late notice, but this bill has been on the fast track and under the radar. If you can, email, fax or call immediately. They are going to vote on it in this afternoon’s session. Ask them to please kill this bill this afternoon!! It is a “shell bill” that leaves the door open for untold waste of taxpayer dollars when they decide to fund it. Any private program can do their own study. They don’t need a bill for this.
