January 2022 Meeting

by ·

State Rep. Mindy Domb spoke at the Northampton Club business meeting on 1/20 to update us on status of bills impacting our priorities.  Very informative discussion and an important heads up:  on 2/2/22, under Joint Rules, Committees will report out their decision on the fate of bills they have reviewed – Advance, Die, or Back Burner (not important).  Our advocacy can make a difference.

BEFORE that deadline we are encouraged to contact our state legislators AGAIN and state your support and any ‘why’ you are able to share.
