The “Sean Tevis” bill absolutely received a huge public outcry. I have had conversations with several in the Kansas Legislature who pointed to the defeat of that measure as a model of effective grassroots outreach. Schwabb does not have a reputation for telling the truth and is often embarassed by doomed little stunts like this.

Oh Rep George,

Scott Schwab’s reputation for honestly and straight dealing is so well known in the Capitol, of course you’d buy into his story and push it out onto the internet!

Oh, wait…I think I have that wrong. I seem to recall one incident last week where several /Republicans/ went down to the well and accused Scotty of lying. Nice try, though!

I can also attest to the fact dozens of folk contacted the offices of various state representatives asking them to oppose the bill.

Glad Rep. George is trying to carry water for Schwab, though.

Hi Pat

Several people were nice enough to cc me when emailing or wrote to let me know that they called. One gentlemen told me that when he called, Rep. Schwab was on the house floor and hurriedly told him that “but Sean agrees with me”, which I do not.

I have three emails cc’d from joco alone albeit to their Reps -not Rep. Schwab. As for the ranking D – I suppose we’ll talk about it when I see him. Thanks for letting me know!

I office with schwab. No phone calls on the issue, let alone phones ever shut down.

2 email complaints from out of state.

Ranking D wants the bill. You are a legend in your own mind.
