 Bill introduced in the house – rescues health care

 benefits to those injured in motorcycle accidents.

 Some insurance companies where you work won’t cover
 this type of accident if you are injured.

 The bill extends benefits to employer-insured Americans
 engaged in legal recreational activities.

 scheduling for end of school/summer driver ed classes.

 WE NEED MORE STR INSTRUCTORS IN D#!!!
 We have 8 counties and 16 high schools we are 
covering here in D#14 as well as taking classes
out of our district for those areas where we don’t
have instructors as of yet.

 This is easy to learn if you have a little time to give
 the program.
