Jake also reported that WSOPP's Wisconsin Parity Bill was not assigned a bill number as planned in 9/2008 due to a lack of support form the state committee. We can re-attempt to have a bill number issued after the November 2008 elections. If everything goes well, a bill number could be issued as early as 1/2009. Until a bill number is issued, all facility parity packets will be held and Town Hall meetings will also take place after the bill number is issued. The Town Hall meetings will be held at non - O&P facilities and will be open to the public and media to help gain support for the Parity Bill.
