[Home-on-the-range] FW: Update on Space Available Legislation

[Rob Tabor]

Good evening all,

 

As you can see from the message below things are perking along very
impressively on the space available legislation which is one of the top
three items on our legislative priorities for 2013. This rapidly growing
list of co-sponsors should do much to build a fire under the Kansas
congressional delegation, especially since both the House and Senate
versions of the bill are bipartisan and noncontrovertial.

Best regards,

Rob
