Restaurant Carry Bill

They have been on 15 minute recess for 39 minutes.

From TFALAC:

We have received a report that Representative Joe McCord is presently working to enlist House members to vote against the Todd/Jackson bill.

Oldest trick in the book, take a 15 minute recess and never come back.

if/when they come back from recess I will be anxious to hear his argument on this.

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

it looks like they are working on the House Regular Calendar (2) which was held over from Monday's session that they didn't have due to the flooding. that means that it could be quite a while before they get to HB3125 which is on House Regular Calendar (1).

How much does this TN legislature gig pay salary and benefits wise? I'm just curious because it looks like it is more like an honorary thing like Arkansas, except the legislature meets every year in TN. Arkansas meets every other year. Legislators in Arkansas do get to count legislature time towards the state pension system and I believe they get state retiree health insurance...pretty good deal considering they only 'work' every other year.

I can see this is going to go nowhere fast. They are on item #4 of 32 on this calendar and have to get all the way through that and THEN get to item #8 on the next calendar.

It wouldn't pay me enough to listen to all of the heads telling me how they want me to vote on everything and cussing me out on how I didn't vote the way that they wanted me to because they are in the minority in my district, that's for sure.

I've been without internet access for the last 3-4 days, so this may have already been addressed and I haven't got to the post yet but....

I guess it would make too much sense for them to simply repeal any reference to possessing a weapon where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption, and simply make it illegal to consume or be under the influence of alcohol while in possession of a firearm.

The above is exactly what the Seneate bill does. It just also modifies the current posting law as well.

[Guest HexHead]

They're on today's calender now. Something must be up, Odum moved they take it up?

From Tennessee - State government The legislative salary in 2002 was $16,500, unchanged from 1999

From Tennessee General Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To keep the legislature a part-time body, it is limited to ninety "legislative days" per two-year term, plus up to fifteen days for organizational purposes at the start of each term. A legislative day is considered any day that the House or Senate formally meets in the chambers of each house. If it remains in session longer than ninety legislative days, lawmakers cease to draw their expense money, currently set at $141 per legislative day.

Legislators also receive an "office allowance" of $1,000 per month, ostensibly for the maintenance of an office area devoted to their legislative work in their homes or elsewhere within their district. Traditionally, it has been easier, politically-speaking, to raise the per diem and office allowance than the salary.

The speaker of each house is entitled to a salary triple that of other members. Under a law enacted in 2004, legislators will receive a raise equally to that given to state employees the previous year, if any

:DIt would appear Todd still isn't feeling any love for the ABC!

[Fallguy]

Not sure what they are discussing now...but don't feel like sitting through it waiting on HB3125...or did I miss what happened to it, if so what was the outcome?

[VolunteerGuns]

The next up is 3125.

(after 3018 dealing w/ intl d.l.'s)

[Guest HexHead]

Okay, they're on #7, HB 3125 is next...

[Fallguy]

LOL...yep I did make it through the "another fine waste of time"...or whatever he said.

[VolunteerGuns]

Well. Here we go......

Get out the lube. Its on.

[Guest HexHead]

Here we go.

[Guest db99wj]

Dang that dude talks fast!

[Fallguy]

Moved to conform to Senate Bill....done...

[GKar]

Substitutes the Senate bill...now considering Tindell's amendment.

[GKar]

Hmmmm...AG has weighed in in favor of Tindell amendment

[Fallguy]

How did this become about the NRA?

[GKar]

Last year's arguments come back to roost...McCord puts NRA in a difficult spot.

[Guest db99wj]

How did this become about the NRA?

Because they ain't got nothing better to talk about. They like to hear themselves talk.
