Rep. Simone Bell: Legislative Update March 23rd, 2010

 Hello Friends of District 58, 

I trust this newsletter finds you well, or headed in that direction. We are closely approaching Cross Over Day, which is the last day that bills can be sent from the House to the Senate for a vote in this legislative session. It is also the 30th day of the legislative session, which leaves us with only 10 days to accomplish an enormous amount of work. Many of you have been engaged throughout the session and I encourage you to stick with me as we reach the home stretch. Now, more than ever, we will need to keep our eyes and ears open to make sure that the remaining bills that pass move Georgia FORWARD. I’m counting on YOU to help me get US there.

Rep. Simone Bell: Legislative Update March 1st, 2010

 I hope this finds you all well.Before the Legislature took a short break to work on budget issues, I was honored to hear from children in our Foster System about proposed legislation that will improve our current system including placing siblings together to maintain familial bonds.

I have also been honored to introduce, along with my colleagues, a Resolution Honoring the Life of Allen Thornell. Allen was a mentor and friend to many in our community, and he is sorely missed. To read a copy of the Resolution online, click here.
