Indiana failed because of three men. Pathetic. What a pathetic show of support for it's own citizens. Popular vote defeated once again by a lobbyist. Popular vote doesn't mean jack in this country. Obviously the majority does not rule.

I'm disgusted.

Does our vote really count anymore? Not sure it does.How did Mclame get the republican nommination?

When I called the governor's office I told the women who answered the phone that I wanted to remind the governor of his campaign promise and to sign the bill SB 2988, I also asked if the phones were ringing off the hook and she said NO. I do not know if that is true but we must keep up this fight and keep bugging these people.

I emailed Rep. Pelath about this bill and received a reply to say that he did vote in favor of the bill and that I had been misinformed.
If this is the case his name should be removed for the list of those that voted against it.

cantor,

That's Bull. If he had signed it, it would have passed.

A last-ditch attempt Friday to resurrect the legislation failed when Sen. Thomas K. Weatherwax, R-Logansport, and Rep. Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, refused to sign off on a proposed compromise.

Thought you all might want to know...

This bill will more than likely get vetoed due to perceived flaws and may not come back up again until the May special session.

I don't mean to be Captain Bring-down however, you can keep calling but it likely will get you nowhere.

Be hopeful. Pray for the best. Prepare for the worst.

There is usually a state legislative website or something that publicly records how they vote. You can check to see if he is telling the truth or just playing semantics.

This is the wording of the e-mail that I got from Scott Pelath.

I voted in favor of the House-passed version of SB 345. It contained strong language to crack down on the employers of illegal labor. More importantly, it contained dollars to help our state enforce the new law.
At the end of the session, some wanted me to agree to a final version of SB 345 that contained no money for enforcement - in other words, a toothless tiger. I would not submit to such a change, and I insisted that the Senate simply agree with the House's version of the bill. Had they done so, we would have had immigration reform in Indiana.

It was signed by Scott Pelath
