Legislative updates- 2010 General Assembly

Updated January 28, 2010

From President Hanify: Why the Tax Caps Are Important to You

The second half of the General Assembly has officially started, many bills we were tracking never got a committee hearing and died or we were successful in getting the bill pulled. However, the pension bills and others that we supported are still alive and appears to be moving, Hanify and I will be on hand to testify at committee hearings if needed and we will watch the remaining bills to the end.

Again, Tom and I would like to invite you to the halls of the state house, together we can speak to your legislator about the issues that influence our livelihood.

The list below is all of the bills we were tracking along with the dead bills. If you have any questions please contact Tom Hanify 317-450-1381 or Mike Whited 765-744-5853

Fraternally,
Vice-President Mike Whited
