<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

from our State Government Liaison, Ed Hude, WA8QJE on the
status of the PRB-1 project here in Michigan. <o:p></o:p></span><br>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif"">In September, 2014, Senator
Nofs and the members of the Senate Energy and Technology
Committee unanimously reported SB 0493 favorably to the
Committee of the Whole. The Senate held the third reading of
the bill on October 22, 2014 and the Senate passed the bill
unanimously.<o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif"">Now our bill is heading to
the House of Representatives for their consideration. It is
expected that the bill will be assigned to the Energy and
Technology Committee in the House and it is time for our
membership to communicate with the Chairman and the members
of the Committee.<o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

help. I am asking that each and every one of you contact the
Committee Chair and the Committee Members of the House
Energy and Technology Committee to encourage them to take
action on this bill.<o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

best done by email. Below the attached sample message is a
listing of the Chairman and members of the committee and
their House website where you can cut and paste your letter
on their website or their email address where you can use
your word processor to generate your letter. It is
acceptable for anyone to send a note to all of the Committee
Members, even if you don’t live in his or her district. Just
make sure that your subject line is “House Energy and
Technology Committee”. That will get the necessary
attention.<o:p></o:p></span><br>
