The sponsor & author aren’t addressing the discrepancies in places like the LA Times…they know better than to depend on a publication friendly to the opposition and they are likely using the direct route to garner support where it matters…voting senators who haven’t committed one way or another.

During their talks with uncommitted senators and appropriations committee members they are surely referencing other publications and arguments like…do we really want to cater to an industry threatening to leave but proving they’ll go underground with their ‘reduced permits’ evidence?

People would be surprised at how different legislative ‘elevator speeches’ are from written articles or how adept professional lobbyists are at responding head on to..deny, deflect, distort etc with verifiable data coupled with a contact known to the target for follow up.

Despite what manyhave said, the FSC has stuck to its lines of bullsit, and have accomplished in getting that bullshit aceepted as if its true. They had no other choice, and the AHF and Hall made it easy for them by not publicly attacking the industry talking points head on, and asking in committee meetings to see any documentation of these claims. 650 performer signatures on a petition, when APAC claims to have just over 100 members? “Tens of thousands” of jobs, “billions” in state revenue,,,they still unnaed 30 million dollar company that has moved to Vegas…..AHF and Hall let all of this go unquestioned, while the mainstream media and organizations never question the accuracy of any of this. The big lie is now the truth, way to go Weinstien, you have snatched defeat out of the hands of victory.

Martin & Hall both spoke to urge Chair to move it out of suspense despite knowing it is headed there.

No clue if this will keep chair from tossing this into suspense.
