• Legislature 2011: ; Time Is Short to Resolve the Many Marcellus Conflicts

State lawmakers will have just hours today to iron out disputes on legislation to regulate natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale. Delegates on Friday advanced the legislation, which is now set for a full House vote Saturday. Because the House has made changes to the Senate-passed bill (SB424), a conference committee will likely be appointed to work out the differences.

• ; Nixon Criticizes Revamped Plan.

JEFFERSON CITY -- A bill providing tax breaks for businesses won approval in the Missouri House yesterday, but uncertainty remains over whether it will be the last gasp of a dying effort or the spur to negotiations with the Senate that will cap the ongoing special legislative session with success. House leaders, who previously had been unwilling to take the measure to a conference committee to discuss differences with the Senate, signaled after the 98-48 vote they no longer opposed negotiations. And Senate President Pro Tem Rob Mayer, R-Dexter, who at one point said the bill was "dead on arrival" if it did not include sunset dates to end major tax credit programs, also said talks are possible.

• Oklahoma Physicians Voice Approval for Civil Justice Measure

There was little left to be said about House Bill 1603 by the time Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn Coffee brought it to a vote in committee on Tuesday. The physicians who held a press conference Tuesday morning already gave plenty of reasons why they thought the bill should be approved. We're here to show you the crisis," said Eli Reshef, an obstetrician-gynecologist practicing in Oklahoma City. Reshef said Tuesday's press conference was arranged in response to the lobbying efforts of trial lawyers in the past few weeks. The attorneys had claimed there is no real crisis in Oklahoma's legal system that would justify the protection from litigation HB 1603 would provide for businesses and physicians.

• Welfare for Reckless Lenders ; Financial 'Reform' Bill Brings More Bailouts

When the Senate returns from the July 4 recess to begin the final debate on the 2,323-page financial regulation bill, it should drop the pretense that the legislation's enactment would bring the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to an early end. The conference report terminates none of the unpopular bailout schemes. Instead, it serves as a showcase of the typical Washington budgetary shenanigans that end up fleecing taxpayers in the end. Participants in Wednesday's House-Senate conference committee meeting deployed the smoke and mirrors with a party-line vote approving an amendment that prohibits the spending of TARP money "for a program or initiative that was not initiated prior to June 25, 2010." Democratic congressional leaders cited this provision to claim that "ending TARP" thre...

• Dam It

In exchange for backing off his point of order, [Stephen Frost] had won several important concessions. The House version of the bill stripped [Marvin Nichols] and Fastrill from SB 3 while adding significant landowner protections. Frost, by a large margin, had even scored an amendment requiring the Metroplex region to bring its per-capita water consumption below 200 gallons a day before Marvin Nichols could be designated as a damsite. San Antonio Rep. Robert Puente, a Craddick Democrat and the sponsor of SB 3, agreed to include Frost's name among the five he would suggest to Speaker Tom Craddick for the House-Senate conference committee that would negotiate the final version of SB 3. Puente also promised, in writing, to vote against adding the reservoirs in conference. (Puente held to hi...

• Nfl Owners' Vote a Must-Win for Rooney

Thirty-one National Football League franchises today in Dallas will decide the fate of Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney's bid to become principal owner of a team his family has held for 75 years. The proposed restructuring cleared the league's nine-member finance committee after a nearly five-hour conference call Monday. No vote was taken to recommend the package to the members, and the buyout tender remains a "work in progress," according to Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, a committee member and respected financial mind throughout the league.
