The moral of this story is don’t keep your friends in the dark.

The crossfile (identical Senate version) of one of my bills was amended in that house.

I didn’t learn about it until after the committee adopted the changes.

I then checked with two advocates.  They had no problems.

I didn’t contact another supporter, who expressed concern about the change at a House subcommittee voting session today.  No heads up to me beforehand.

Action on my bill will be delayed until the Senate version gets to the House.

That should not be fatal, but it could have been avoided.
