Smoking ban bill on Wednesday

Rep. Hugh Holliman told me this evening that he expects
H2, the smoking ban bill to be debated Wednesday "barring any unexplained absences."

He seemed pretty confident that the bill would prevail, but added, "It will be close."

For those following H 120, which would allow for taxpayer-funded elections, it was due to be heard tonight (Monday) but supporters say it needs a technical fix. The measure is heading back to committee, but Holliman said he expected to see it back on the House calendar later this week.

As for tomorrow's calendar: I'll be in Greensboro Tuesday to cover Gov. Perdue's big health care shindig.
