Take nothing for granted.

     That’s my mantra for the week.

On my long list of bills, the only ones I’m working on this week are the ones that could still pass the House by Monday night and thereby avoid the Senate Rules Committee.

If the amendment I drafted last night is not adopted in committee today, its chances of being in the final bill are greatly diminished.

So I said to a key staffer this morning, “Am I being a nudge if I ask what’s happened since we first discussed this last night?”

The response was not negative.

On the House floor, I was told that my referendum petition bill was in trouble because of expected Republican opposition.

So I asked Del. Parrott to explain our compromise to the GOP members of the Election Law Subcommittee and to the Minority Leader.  They’re now on board, and the Dems on the subcommittee were told that.

No doubt more mini crises before Monday night…
