[LWVNM Action] Summary of last night's meeting

[Judy Williams]

Thanks for the notes.  I'm wondering, was Jeanne Logsdon there?  I was
hoping she would mention the "Strategic Water Reserve."  I really wanted us
to oppose the $75 million and whatever other related bills arise.

Was there any discussion?

Hannah and I will meet with Katharine Clark and the GIS people next
Wednesday, and will discuss her GIS bill.  If it's good we will probably
want to support it.   Judy
