The reality is retailers will not increase their inventories or order advertising until the governor does sign the bill.

Our retailers will not increase their inventory or advertising until this is signed. We need to get this on the governor's desk as soon as possible.

This is a false crisis. It's a crisis that exists in the Legislature alone and nowhere out there on the streets.

It does have next committee stops, and we'll be trying to work on it then, trying to preserve property rights for the business community.

This is the result of 20 years of lobbying. The business community has been fighting for this for a long, long time and we're very grateful. It's a memorable moment.

We are closer than we were last week. We are not yet to a perfect bill, There's always the opportunity for parties to enter from left field and disrupt the negotiations. We hope that will not happen.
