Tyler Lindholm says we may get a hearing in the Revenue Committee as soon as a week from tomorrow. Great timing, for us. I believe Kasich will be given the podium to speak to the whole legislature the previous day. If that’s true his speech will have added impact. Natelson says he’ll probably be in Cheyenne for Kasich’s visit. Bill Fruth will get a day there to lobby, hopefully escorted by Bill McIlvain. Lobbyists Tony Gagliardi and, possibly, Matt Micheli, will work the members. NFIB will be working its members, and 250 More will work the state. I’m sure the IamAmerican team (Lou Marin and Loren Enns) will be able to help out. I’ll have all day to lobby before I testify at 5:00 p.m. Democrats in Wyoming don’t matter, so the only real opposition will come from the fringe — the Eagle/Birchers. And, on the merits, it’s a no brainer.
With all this going for us, if we can’t get five of the eight Republican votes on the committee……………
I don’t want to think about it.
We’re going to win, and I’m going out for a cold one. Maybe Tyler and Dan will join me.
