The very difficult task of appointing committee members in order to achieve the proper balance has now been completed.

The three-member Semmes lobbying team is already hard at work on the 2007 Session and we will all be in Annapolis virtually 24/7 for the 90-day Session starting January 10.
If you have any questions, now or at anytime during the Session, please communicate with any one of us.
