I don't know if ANYTHING would have helped Rep. Mabrey grasp the=20 concept. Unfortunately, we then had some local geeks who took it=20 upon themselves to email him with explanations that confused the=20 poor old gentleman even further.
I finally had to put out a call to leave him alone. Rep. Barnhart=20 is going to talk to him. They're both older gentlemen. They=20 both represent rural (farming interests) districts. Barnhart is=20 a warm, affable man who is instantly likeable (AND holds a Ph.D.=20 in psychology....).
Everything is going to be all right.

I wouldn't make that assumption; that is just the deadline that=20 the committee Chair gave us. =20
We had the requested meeting-of-the-minds two days ago. I'm not=20 at liberty to give details, but the upshot of it is that the bill=20 is still very much alive (sssshhh, our opposition believes it is=20 dead), it has the enthusiastic support of the leadership (ssshhh=20 again), and the State's IT bureaucrats are now on our side! =20 (double ssshhh, they think the bureaucrats are still on their=20 side) =20
When you see the amended bill, DON'T PANIC. It isn't what it=20 looks like. There was a back-room deal made, and it's one hell=20 of a tale that I hope I get to tell some day.
As to when the committee will take up the bill again, I cannot=20 predict. There probably won't be much warning.
