I just lost a lot of money.

Rumor mill says it is dead; gavels haven't fallen yet, so anything is still possible.58 minutes, where we at? I know someone has inside ball...

I think they pass it at 11:59
If it is, I'd love to hear the backstory of why, assuming we ever find out. If Atterbeary overreached again and annoyed Smith or other leadership, that's to our benefit. Her Everytown paymasters won't be happy, either, having let the original GG bill fall through cracks in the HJC calendar. It's amazing her ego doesn't require its own separate office.
I am not ruling ANYTHING out. Fingers croseed.
I'd rule out legislative competence.

If this doesn't show the shenanigans and lack of cohesiveness at play, I don't know what does - Vice Chair of Ways & Means ( Del Alonzo Washington) moves to "Special Order" a bill. His chair (Del Anne Kaiser) rises to say she wanted to "Suspend the Rules for 2 Readings on the Same Day" (a way to avoid the rule that a bill must receive 3 hearings on separate "Legislative Days" [different from Calendar Days]). Under normal circumstances, the Vice Chair should have receded from his Motion out of respect for the Chair's motion...he chose to press his motion, which was soundly defeated.
