HB 218 Passes Committee

HB 218 was unanimously passed by the House Government Operations Committee today.  Thanks to all who have participated by contacting the legislators and signing the petition.

One small battle has been won, but the next stop is full deliberation and debate on the house floor.

Representative Gage Froerer will need even greater support in coming days and weeks, and we need to plan trips to the Capital to stand behind and in support of Gage's bill.  A room full of supporters will speak loudly in response to the big money interests opposing the bill.

The Weber County Forum is offering most excellent play by play of the bills progress this morning, so be sure to check out:
