News Water plan vote in House may happen tomorrow
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 5:20 PM
The members of the House Natural Resources and Environment Committee wasted no time this morning passing a resolution in support of the statewide comprehensive water plan. The matter's slated to be scheduled tomorrow in the chamber's Rules Committee and heard first thing at the start of the session.
Reps. Brian Thomas, Doug McKillip and Debbie Buckner voted against the resolution and plan to file a minority report to ensure it'll see debate on the floor of the House. McKillip said the amount of power the plan delegates to the state's executive branch concerns him.
Sources also said Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle has the ability to push the plan in Senate tomorrow.
