Re: SB 864 Will most people wait? $$ reduciton in fee?

We paid $100 for our class here in San Antonio. Best money I ever spent. And if that's what it takes for a renewal (pending legislation changes of course) I'll do it again. We were fortunate to have a great instructor and he was worth every cent.

The OP posted a link to a CBS story. Sorry, but I find ANYTHING that CBS reports "hard to believe." I think I'll wait a bit until other sources come forward to put the whole story together for myself. Of course, we're all saddened by his loss. As a native Californian and Permanent Texas re...
