Lawrence thanked everyone for stepping up and getting speakers. We’re good through most of September. Keep up the good work.
Speaker Highlights:
Our speaker was Ross Ramsey. He has spoken at the club 4 times so far. He started off with Mack Brown’s salary and compared it to the Legislators. Pretty funny I must say. He noted that traditionally Labor Day starts the serious re-election stuff. 2008 has only a few statewide elections. The Attorney General has been asked to answer several questions related to the Speaker of the House. Most state politicians are looking past 2008 and toward 2010. There are questions about Sen. Hutcheson and her seat. A lot of new laws take effect on 9-1-2007.
