FINAL BULLETIN FOR THE 2010 SESSION

LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN NO. 13

We hope our weekly information has been helpful to you during the session.

Although we did not receive favorable reports on all we were tracking and supporting, we did extremely well considering budget constraints and hard decisions by the Senate and House.

The MSFA Legislative Office is not staffed after the session is over. However, should you need to speak with either the Chairman or Vice Chairman, please use the following contacts. Chairman C. Danny Davis 301-481-2030(c), e-mail: ddavis@msfa.org or msfaleg@msfa.org, or Vice Chairman Richard Yinger at 240-538-7150(c), e-mail: rlyinger@hotmail.com.

Thank you for your support.
