Wasn't another bill postponed until 8pm? So that puts three bills ahead of SB11?

And there was absolutely no reason for it to sit on Calendars for as long as it did.

When the speaker purposefully stalls and delays it until it's up against the stroke of midnight? Sure.Ruark wrote:I was talking about SB11, not SB19.

Yeah, you are probably right. I've lost track in my frustration.TexasJohnBoy wrote:I think it's up to the house to concur, not the Senate.
That's it, I'm done. Yall have fun.
Because when I take this issue to my representatives or join a campaign to unseat said reps I want to know "why" for myself and not read regurgitated information from the msm.baldeagle wrote:I can't fathom why you guys are abusing yourselves like this.

I think it was postponed until approx. 6:00pm, so there is another bill.Aggie_engr wrote:Wasn't another bill postponed until 8pm? So that puts three bills ahead of SB11?
There is no debate or amendments on concurrence votes. It's just a vote.Ruark wrote:I just hope 910 survives this mess, but jeez, it looks like all they'd have to do is load it up with 500 amendments and sink it. I can't believe that's allowed.
SB206 was postponed to 6:30 and SB9 was postponed until 8. That's at least 2 ahead of 11.Charles L. Cotton wrote:I think it was postponed until approx. 6:00pm, so there is another bill.Aggie_engr wrote:Wasn't another bill postponed until 8pm? So that puts three bills ahead of SB11?
