Bo’s Senate Report (Legislative Report by Senator R P. “Bo" Thomas, 27th Senatorial District), February 13.1981 Activity has really increased in our Senate this past week and I can see that your State Senator needs to get more efficient if he is to attend all the meetings, be properly informed and be effective On Thursday when I arrived at my office in the Legislative Building. I was met by a constituent who was concerned enough by the sale of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in some fast food markets that he had come to Raleigh to discuss his concerns with me and other legislators. I share his concerns and I will support the Governor's forthcoming bill which .we hope will close up so-called "head shops". Following that talk. I went directly to the Judiciary III meeting (which ran overtime) and we reported out the amendments to the Fair Sentencing Act, Senate Bill 72 as well as favorably reported out Senate Bill 24, Equitable Distribution of Property Next. I went to the Banking Committee where the committee is considering an increase in interest rates on consumer and installment loans. I have been asked to participate as to the effect on small businesses of these higher interest rates. Since I am not a member of the Banking Committee. I will be able to speak on the bill, but not vote. Our Environmental Management Commission met all day Thursday and in order to participate in this important commission. I asked to be excused from my Manufacturing, Labor and Commerce Committee Meeting. About 1:25 p.m. it was necessary to be excused from the Commission to attend session at 1:30 p m Shorly after the session, I went to the House Small Business Committee where I was greatly impressed with the dedication of the members to improve the atmosphere for small businesses in North Carolina After visiting with friends from our district and coordinating with other mountain legislators, I proceeded to the McKimmon Center for the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service's banquet, where I supped with those dedicated mountain extension workers. Our agricultural extension workers are leading our fight to preserve our family farms and I certainly appreciate it. Our mail has really increased this week, probably three times or greater than last week. Much interest has been expressed in the Equitable Distribution of Property bill; repeal of the four percent tax on food; support and opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, and many worthwhile suggestions on the management and increase of our Highway Trust Fund. Our study commission on the operation of the Department of Transportation has been received with great interest in our ten counties. I am appealing to our people who have ideas and susggestions on how the department can eliminate waste and duplication and increase its effectiveness to our people. My interest is not participating in a witch hunt, but seeing that our people are served by better roads and that their taxes are spent with a higher degree of common sense. We have attended several informal meetings on thse matters with our Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House, but our first formal meeting is next Tuesday afternoon, February 17.
