Shortly after I posted my previous article, I received a call from this man...

Jerry Dowell is the Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs.  Basically Mr. Dowell confirmed what Representative Ervin had said.

Dowell said that, "In a nutshell, the Governor doesn't sign HCR's {House Concurrent Resolutions}"

When I asked him "why all the secrecy over at the Governor's office?", Mr. Dowell indicated that he did not know why.

I then told Mr. Dowell that whoever I talked to at the Governor's office, became borderline hostile when I started talking about the specifics of HCR-20. I continued by stating that,"I'll stop short of saying that she lied to me outright, but she tried to tell me that HCR-20 was a piece of Federal legislation"

"She obviously doesn't know what she's talking about", Dowell replied.

Obviously.
