To All: {CORRECTED YET AGAIN. I hope I have my database problems solved now.
YesterdayŒs list had numbered several bills with the same number. Delete
that email dated yesterday, 2/10/2003. Thank you!}

Below are the new bills introduced this past week which I have included in
my database of tracking for Sierra Club, Iowa Chapter. You should be able to
click on the weblink and it will take you to the bill text if you want to
see that.

Obviously not much has happened on most of them.

The Session continues to be very slow, although now that quite a few bills
have been introduced committee action will pick up speed, and floor action
will beging to occur in subsequent days.

NOTE: I you still have last week¹s list, keep it, keep this one, and then
keep subsequent list (until further instruction) and you will accumulate the
bills we are following. After the funnel narrows them down, we can delete
these lists, and track the smaller list.

More later.
