Still have the DFH 61 and 75 waiting for SB 100 to pass, but until then, I'll be drinking martinis.

But then you know all this per your rant. I'll be watching today starting at 11 AM, as I'm keenly interested in the outcome. A successful outcome in my eyes will be toasted with a bottle of 61.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-12250687173199063982013-06-25T20:09:08.505-04:002013-06-25T20:09:08.505-04:00I really wish you doom and gloom guys would post w...I really wish you doom and gloom guys would post with a name. I mean, Wendell W. "The Middle W is For Windy" Young IV at least makes his dumb predictions in public (a privatization bill would never get out of the House Liquor Control Committee, it would never pass the House, it was only for fund-raising, and -- my favorite -- the "continuation clause" in the union's new contract would ward off privatization like some magic charm), so we can then make light of them. But don't worry, if and when the bill does pass the Senate, we won't even remember this!Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-14446701316681921612013-06-25T19:44:21.284-04:002013-06-25T19:44:21.284-04:00If it gets to the floor, it will be a amazing.

The only way this gets to the Senate floor is a version that cannot be passed by the House. If Corbett was a leader, he would get the House to bend on transportation, then the Senate may budge on something other than a weaker bill than McIlhinney; otherwise, privatization will be tabled until the next Governor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-25074504518041573522013-06-25T16:53:38.635-04:002013-06-25T16:53:38.635-04:00The L&J Committee essentially eviscerated HB79...The L&J Committee essentially eviscerated HB790 and inserted the SB100 language in it. They'll pass both versions; the way it's been explained to me is that it's easier and quicker for the House to pass HB790. Seems silly, but what do I know?
