and safety? Now, through

the bill for insurance of the

uniforms and emblems worn
on uniforms.

vehicle was contingent on the
fact that the band provide
fuel, perform in support of

2003 to be his House floor
leader, and later that year
Richardson was chosen
Republican leader of the

played a key role in electing
Republicans to the House in
the November elections.

Henderson noted that in
the county jail, prisoners\are
