I'm going to Austin Tuesday to testify on one of Sen. Huffman's bills; I'll ask Sen. Campbell about this thread and what has been said about her involvement.

Loren, if you "have no interest in any other threads on this forum[,]" then do you want me to deactivate your registration?

Please send me a private email if you have. What I've noticed was probably just a "glitch" but if it seems to be happening somehow it should be reported.

Could be even my imagination or operator error but I edited the first post of this thread and part of that edit is shown but a paragraph is missing. Strange.

Thanks.
