I don't understand how McComas can say there is a bill in committee. Now that it has been added to the budget don't they have to extract it. Isn't the fact that he says it is in committee null right now?
There are clean bills in Committees -- H676 and the Senate version S584.
When the 3-year look back was attached to the budget, it was then considered a different bill than H676. It didn't change the fact that H676/S584 are still sitting in Committees.
Those bills could be moved out of Committees, voted on by both houses of the General Assembly and signed by the Governor WITHIN HOURS if that's what the leadership of the House Commerce and Job Development Committee and the Senate Finance Committee wanted to do. That's why it's so vital that we continue to contact these legislative leaders:
Daniel McComas is the Chairman of the House Commerce and Job Development Committee:
Of course, the 3 Chairmen of the Committees are probably taking orders from the leaders of the General Assembly, so make sure to also contact Speaker of the House Thom Tillis
thak you abcde, I get confused that since it was added to the budget you had to extract that to vote. So if they can move H676 out of committee then they can vote on that. Thank you.
Wouldn't it be better to fill the republicans message centers than the governors. They are the ones that are holding up unemployment.. They know the only way they can get there budget through is this way. the governor is not all to blame. You can't ask her to sign something that might be as bad for us in the furture. Remember Washington when the president gave in.
I need to say this..I appreciate all of the offers for money that people want to send to me because I am running out of food and am worried about my dog. We are in the same boat as all of you, and I would rather you all look after your own than to try to help us. We will be just fine. I just want all of this to to be over, and the EB gets reinstated, whether it's this week or next month. We just need to hold on and wait it out. That being said...I do appreciate all the good will and I would love to send it back to you 2 fold, and I will once the EB is reinstated and I get a job. So....good wishes and blessings to all of us.
Rangerbob, you did see the advice for you a page or so back about getting on Facebook and searching for animal welfare organizations? Keep that in mind if you do need help down the road.
Personally, I find stories of people like Greg3973 being separated from his young babies and pets going without food just gut-wrenching.
