Several of us appeared this afternoon to testify before the Senate Committee
on Governmental and Regulatory Affairs, which was discussing two cemetery
bills (SB 178 and 280). I'm just too gosh darned tired to write a report on
that hearing. I promise I'll to it Thursday night.
One exciting note, Ron Baldwin delivered to me 20 more Petition signatures
today. When I checked the P.O. box tonight, I collected another 50 or 60
signatures. That puts us up to 700 or better.
If you're sitting on any signatures, PLEASE try to get them in the mail
tomorrow. I need to get them by Saturday so I can make copies of the most
recent ones for delivery at the meeting of the House of Representatives'
Committee on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development on:
Monday, February 1, 1999 at 3:30 P.M.
in the House Chambers
(third floor of the State House)
The House is considering SIX cemetery bills, the details of which and
essential links can be found on the INPCRP website under "Pending Legislation".
If ANY of you are in the Indianapolis area or can be in Indianapolis on
Monday afternoon, I would dearly love for you to join us there.
In my honest opinion, I just don't think the Legislators are getting the
picture here. I don't think they are in touch with the reality of this
situation and it's only by showing up in numbers that they are going to
realize that large numbers of potential voters are watching what happens in
the State House this year.
More later. Goodnight.
Lois
