Speaker Kermit Brown didn’t do us any favor by assigning us to Revenue, but we’ll make it work. Eight R’s, one D, so we’ll need five out of eight. Tyler’s been advised to seek a hearing ASAP, so we’re hoping for the week of Jan. 26, after Kasich, Natelson, and Fruth have been there and laid the groundwork. Lobbyist Matt Micheli has been hired by Kasich to set up his visit, and we’ll ask him to lobby as well. Tony Gagliardi of NFIB will work the members, and Stephanie Wuerks will generate support from the membership of NFIB. We’ve asked Bill McIlvain to reach out to the chair. Kevin Grenier and 250 More will try to get grass roots support. I’ll fly out to testify at the committee hearing. With all this going for us we should be able to get five votes.
When you’ve done everything you can, you’ve done all you can do.
