We had the full complement of group leaders on the call today -- Lois from Baltimore, Tom from Des Moines, Paul from Minneapolis, Douglas, our beloved regional coordinator from St. Petersburg, and me.
We didn't talk about legislative news, but caught up on news from the four groups. Everyone is excited about Nancy joining our group. She will be on the conference call this Saturday. Tom is the only group leader on this call who wasn't in DC, so after last year not going, I had a sense for how left out he must have felt with all the talk about the conference.
Ours is the largest and seemingly most active group, so you can be proud of that. And I sent all my follow-up emails today after the lobbying meetings. So I can cross that off my list.
No news yet on Congress resolving the income minimum for the Child Tax Credit. TheHouse has it at $8500; the Senate at $10000. And no news yet on the Healthcare Disparities Bill that would seek to equalize healthcare access across racial and ethnic lines.
