AB2072 passed. No longer in APPR suspense file.

News going around that the AB2072 bill already passed today (10 - 1) and is now out of the APPR. Suspense File - which was never "suspended" in the first place. Next, the bill will go to the Senate floor next week for the vote and once that gets passed it will go to the Governator's desk for his signature.

Now, there are talks about getting Edwin Black involved again, which didn't help much like the last time, because this "suspend" crowd really want to see this bill suspended permanently and are desperate for any kind of help to stop this bill. They want the whole enchilada instead. Once this bill finally passed and signed then it's a victory for all future parents of babies born with hearing loss get the necessary and full information on all communication options. But the real question after that is will we see a street protest if this bill passes the Senate floor and heads to the Governor's desk for his signature? We'll probably know this answer within the next week or so.

Stay tuned.....

Meanwhile, enjoy this, er, suspenseful classic tv show The Twilight Zone with an episode called "Eye of the Beholder" Part I, II, III and IV. All of them captioned. Kind of like the AB2072 bill story plot. Wait til the final wrapping comes off and it comes out beautifully but those who are against it sees it as an ugly result in this final treatment. And then we have the chase scene, too. Does that remind you of something? Enjoy!
