Arkansas Cancer Summit

I checked out at 6:00 and ran over to the Arkansas Cancer Summit late this afternoon, where House Public Health Chairman Gregg Reep gave a legislative update. I still had enough daylight afterwards to put on my cycling gear and hit the River Trail and across the Big Dam Bridge and back before dark. We're now convening for our nightly bill reading discussion. Due to the lack of committee meetings on Mondays, Tuesdays are the slowest days of the week on the floor, and we only have 17 bills on tomorrow's calendar. We would have 18, but I pulled back my bill on teacher retirement that was approved by committee this morning in order to visit with the governor about wording.
