Roll Call: RussellSenior,TomasKuchta,JasonBergstrom,TedBrunner
Agenda
- House Committee on Economic Development and Small Business hearing
- Russell didn't testify in person, wants to submit written testimony;
- There is going to be a followup hearing, March 9 or earlier
- Predictable split:
- Incumbents favored by "first refusal" clause think eliminating it is horrible (for them);
- Everyone else thinks it was unfair and anti-competitive to begin with;
- The chair of the committee is a chief sponsor of keeping the uncompetitive language.
- News from ARPA grant partner
