HB 1490 Testimony

January 28, 2009 at 5:52 pm By

If you’re an insomniac and interested in the HB 1490 committee testimony Josh Feit reports about here, TVW is showing it on tape delay at 11:30 pm – 1:30 am Wednesday tonight (that’s tonight), and again at 5:30-7:30 am on Thursday.

Or, try the link online here.

Added bonus: you’ll see the statement of yours truly a couple of minutes before the end.  (Skip ahead to about 2:10).

Bonus 2: After the 1:29 mark, committee Chair Geoff Simpson (D-Covington) smacks down richly deserving bill opponent John Fox and leaves longtime light rail opponent Emory Bundy at a loss for words (1:35:30) .

Update: As everyone in the world has now pointed out to me, it’s HB 1490, not 1690 as originally stated in the post.

Here’s the embedded video:

    “Please comment on the bill, not the process.”
