Bill to provide that Tax Realignment Commission shall consider all aspects of the assessment of local taxesto fund operations and responsibilities of local government. HOUSE. None. Weekly Activities. House was on furlough this week. Potentially good news in that Board of Economic Advisors met and did not lower revenue forecast. Ways and Means Committee rescheduled when it will take up the FY10-11 budget to week of Feb. 23-25. Higher Education/Cultural Agencies Subcommittee will present request to full Ways and Means Committee to provide $1 million to State Library for use by public libraries. Subcommittee did not present to Proviso Subcommittee any language re restructuring the State Library. Appears this issue is moot for this year. Budget proviso was approved to close National Board Certification to new participants. Existing participants can continue until their certification expires. They will not be allowed to renew. S. 933 (a bill to mandate Veterans Day as a school holiday) approved by Senate Education Committee. Legislators contacted re reporting out I Support Libraries license tags (S. 745 and H. 3903). Next Weeks Schedule. House returns from furlough. H. 3903 (I Support Libraries license tag bill) is on agenda of House Education/Public Works Committee Wednesday, February 17 at 2:30 pm. ?ALTUV^ [\KIJlm}~EF  $$$$W%X%Y%Z%⿳ǫǦǦ☦ hM\#$q`gd{gd{^gd{JKabKF`gd{^gd{gd{`a 34DE!cd  `gd{^gd{  $$$$X%Y%Z%":p{/ =!"#$%666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭Vsקo>W=n#p̰ZN|ӪV:8z1f؃k;ڇcp7#z8]Y / \{t\}}spķ=ʠoRVL3N(B<|ݥuK>P.EMLhɦM .co;əmr"*0#̡=6Kր0i1;$P0!YݩjbiXJB5IgAФ޲a6{P g֢)҉-Ìq8RmcWyXg/u]6Q_Ê5H Z2PU]Ǽ"GGFbCSOD%,p 6ޚwq̲R_gJSbj9)ed(w:/ak;6jAq11_xzG~F<:ɮ>O&kNa4dht\?J&l O٠NRpwhpse)tp)af] 27n}mk]\S,+a2g^Az )˙>E G鿰L7)'PK! ѐ'theme/theme/_rels/themeManager.xml.relsM 0wooӺ&݈Э5 6?$Q ,.aic21h:qm@RN;d`o7gK(M&$R(.1r'JЊT8V"AȻHu}|$b{P8g/]QAsم(#L[PK-![Content_Types].xmlPK-!֧6 0_rels/.relsPK-!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xmlPK-!\theme/theme/theme1.xmlPK-! ѐ' theme/theme/_rels/themeManager.xml.relsPK] Z:Z% n Z%Il}Zb8@0(  B S  ?\\TV\[ J M [ ] &l_j\:::::::::::{\@ZP@UnknownGTimes New Roman5Symbol3 Arial hz,j>3 324dK#?*02010 Jim Johnson Jim Johnson Oh+'0  , 8 DPX`hp'2010 Jim Johnson Normal.dotm Jim Johnson4Microsoft Macintosh Word@J6@ @ɬ>3G,PICT"b HHb bHH-.bb !!
