Subject: [INROOTS] 2/15/99 House of Rep. Hearings on Cemetery Bills

>As you may already know, about 16 people appeared on 2/8/99 to testify
>before an Indiana House of Representatives Committee on the bills pending
>before the 1999 General Assembly. (Detailed information on these bills is
>available at http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp.)
>
>Because the previous session meeting in the House Chambers ran long, it was
>5:45 P.M. before we entered the House Chambers. Due to the lateness of the
>hour, the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development
>Committee heard only abbreviated remarks from those of us who chose to
speak
>on the general subject of the condition of Indiana's abandoned, neglected
>and endangered pioneer cemeteries.
>
>I just received confirmation from Trevor Vance, the Legislative Assistant
to
>Rep. Markt Lytle (Chairman of the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and
>Rural Development Committee) that the next hearings on the "cemetery
>protection" bills pending before the House will be "on Monday, February
15th
>at 4:00 p.m. or upon adjournment in the House Chambers. Rep. Lytle is
>hoping the extra time will allow for session to be over."
>
>To be addressed are: HB 1522 "amend only"
> HB 1112, 1422 and 1588 "discussion only"
> HB 1226 "vote only"
>
>It is VERY important that as many people as possible who are concerned
about
>protecting and preserving our pioneer cemeteries be there on Monday,
>2/15/99:
>
>(1) to testify about their concerns and
>(2) to listen to the testimony of the "opposition" (which will likely
>include the farm lobbyists, the mining lobbyists and the real estate
>development lobbyists).
>
>Can YOU be there? It's set for pretty late in the day, which may make it
>easier for some to attend. If there is ANY way you can be there, contact
me
>or, better yet,
>subscribe to the INPCRP e-mail discussion group (details on the website
>mentioned above) and get involved in the project to preserve and protect
>Indiana's pioneer cemeteries.
>
>The hearings on Monday, 2/15/99, will be a critical juncture in the effort
>to save and protect the final resting places of our ancestors and
>predecessors.
>
>Thank you.
