When you are on the phone with your State Rep tell them we OPPOSE HB1979, the E-15 ethanol bill.

HB2860, our "Dead Red Light" bill is in the Senate and has picked up as Sponsors Senators Gary Forby (chief sponsor) Bill Haine, Mike Nolan.and Tim Bivins. Senator Donnie Trotter is on board with the bill and I am hoping to pick up some more sponsors.
