End Run

You always have to admire good ball handling even if the guards are working for the other team, which brings us this bit of ball handling.

Both Democrat (at least in name) Bob Damron and Republican Stan Lee have attached their bigoted bill, House Bill 304, which is quietly dying in Judiciary Committee as floor amendments to House Bill 553.

HFA (1/P, S. Lee) - Attach provisions of HB 304.

HFA (4, R. Damron) - Retain original provisions, with the following additions: amend the section relating to the crime of theft of identity to prohibit the use of additional identifying information; prohibit using another person's information for the purpose of obtaining employment or engaging in a violation of law; permit prosecution for theft of identity in addition to a forgery offense.

Hopefully when this comes up for a vote, Kathy Stein or someone else will point out that these amendments are not germane to the bill.
