    Yesterday the AZ Senate Natural Resources, Energy and Water Committee meeting passed HB2498. The vote was basically along party lines and was not unexpected. I am happy to report that many of the senators are taking notice of our efforts and the strong opposition from the archaeological community. The AZ Senate Government Committee will be hearing the bill tomorrow, Wednesday, March 14, at 2:00 pm in room SHR 109. Once again, I encourage everyone to attend and voice your opposition if at all possible. Please do not get discouraged. As more senators become aware of the issues and support our position, the harder this bill will be for them to pass. If this bill has bipartisan support, the Governor will likely sign it. If it does not have bipartisan support, we will continue to have a chance. Please contact members of the Government Committee, the Senators and Representatives of your districts, and show up in person if you can. Thank you to everyone who has and continues to stand in opposition!
