Yesterday was a big first step in getting SB 136 passed by the Louisiana state legislature. Thanks to all of you that showed up for the hearing, contacted a member of the committee and/or signed the petition (which you can still do if you haven’t yet). The senators on the committee appeared to be very interested in ironing out the ambiguities of the law and their questions to those testifying were very interesting to hear and showed that they had done their homework on the matter.
The Advocate has a good article on yesterday’s hearing here and also does a good job of summing up the specifiics of SB 136 and what it hopes to accomplish. You can read it here. We’ll have more information on what you can continue to do to help in the next few days.
Thanks again for all of your support. We’re almost there!
