Today’s show leads with a piece coming out of Nebraska. If this is how all of our legislators felt I’d say we’re in trouble.  In addition I’ve got a special message to all the naysayers out there.  Listen for more on the show.  For those of you who headed to Atlantic City for the NAEC Convention I hope it was a good event for you.  Special thanks go out to Glenn Duncan who headed the 50/50 Raffle for the EESF and the donation by the NAEC of the two life sized Safe-T-Riders characters that were unveiled at the EESF fundraiser on Saturday night.  Tomorrow is the Wisconsin Elevator Symposium which is a favorite for many in the industry. The perfect opportunity to get QEI credits if needed.  I will be there and am looking forward to it!
