		The bill, which is substantially different than it was described at a press conference March 15, is a Trojan horse with an unfunded mandate hidden inside.
		Although Finch wrote the bill, it was formally introduced under the name of State Sen. Thomas Gaffey, D-Meriden, chairman of the Education Committee, which gives it a good chance of passing the State Senate.
		Finch said he is "working within a system that's unfair," adding that there aren't enough votes in Hartford to provide more state funding.

		Laysan finches, along with the other Hawaiian honeycreepers, were formerly considered to be in a separate family, the Drepanididae, but are now considered to be a unique subfamily, the Drepanidinae, under the family Fringillidae (08, 14).
		In 1986, finches were observed apparently drinking water from the lake next to the east side "blowout;" this area is known to be fed by fresh water seep(s) (49).
		However, one wild, banded, twelve-year-old Nihoa finch (Telespyza ultima), a close relative of the Laysan finch, was recaptured in 1980; it had originally been banded in 1969, and was judged to be at least a year old in 1969 (19).

		Finch, D-Bridgeport, said Thursday he will give up his chairmanship of the Banks Committee and is looking forward to advocating cleaner air and auto emissions, and an expansion of the statewide bottle-deposit law.
		Finch, a four-year veteran of the Senate, said he plans to confer with other committee members on overall priorities, because he's stepping into the chairmanship mid-way through the two-year term.
		Finch was appointed to his new post by Senate President Pro Tempore Donald E. Williams Jr., D-Brooklyn, a chief proponent of the bottle-deposit bill.

		HARTFORD — It took several years, but a bill to require booster chairs in vehicles for children too large for baby seats, but too small for adult restraint systems, won final passage in the Senate Wednesday.
		Finch said the booster seats are affordable, about $15 or $20, and in some cases insurance companies pay for them or even provide them.
		The bill, which recently passed the House 116 to 23, also requires drivers to provide rear-facing seats for children under one year old or less than 20 pounds.

		Finches generally have grooves on the under edge of the upper bill and sharp edges on the lower.
		A seed picked up by the beak is manipulated into the groove; then the lower jaw moves back and forth, the edge acting like a knife to cut through the coat as the seed is rolled along the groove.
		The two arrows are at the ends of a groove formed by the edge of the bill and a ridge that rises in parallel but nearer the center; this is the structure that holds the seed while the lower bill works on it.

		The measure is included in a larger bill that would prohibit municipalities from euthanizing dogs that had been involved in biting incidents until hearings are held.
		Feral said that if the bill becomes law, it could result in the Friends of Animals withdrawing a pending lawsuit against UI that was filed in an attempt to protect the birds, which have found the utility poles attractive to build their stick nests that house multiple generations of the feisty birds.
		On the committee's deadline day to submit bills to the House and Senate, more than 30 pieces of legislation were approved, including measures to promote the purchase of cleaner-running cars and to force municipalities to pay for emission-reducing equipment on the statewide fleet of 7,000 school buses.

		Nihoa finches, along with the other endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers, were formerly considered to be in a separate family, the Drepanididae, but are now considered to be a unique subfamily, the Drepanidinae, under the family Fringillidae (12).
		Captive Nihoa finches were reported to roost at night in the branches, grass tussocks, and the cement blocks in their cage (08).
		In the case of the Nihoa finch, the numerical abundance of the species is less relevant to its endangered status than is its limited (approximately 156 acres) native range and fragile ecosystem (02,16), and the documented fluctuations in population numbers (02).

		The pert little purple finch toppled the one-time sturdy New Hampshire hen to become the Granite State's official bird, by vote of the 1957 Legislature.
		The purple finch readily mustered broad legislative support, because of the respected influence of its sponsoring organizations, and Miss Spollett's hen bill became pigeon-hold.

		Opponents, though, hope the bill either is defeated in the House or that Rell vetoes it and the House fails to override her veto.
		Even though the bill is groundbreaking, many, including Finch, vowed to continue fighting for same-sex "marriage." A "gay marriage" bill failed to make it out of a committee, although a lawsuit in state court seeks same-sex "marriage" legalization.
		Brown is urging Rell to veto the bill, assuming it passes the House.

	Mystery Bird Public Comments for 1998
		The bill looks somewhat long, but the culmen is curved; even at the slightly indirect angle of this shot we should be able to see the straight culmen of Cassin's.
		The breast streaking is blurry, the bill not especially long, it lacks a buff eyering, and the culmen is distinctly decurved.
		The dark rufous brown body feathering and fl bill suggests a winter male (Ruddy) to me, but given the aberrant plumage of the bird it is probably not safe to age and sex the bird.

		One of the bill's primary sponsors, state Sen. Bob Smith, D-Piscataway, said Friday that because of the presence of an aquifer, the Agilent site's inclusion in the core area made sense even though the property is partly developed.
		Under the Highlands bill, a 15-member state council will be empowered to review and potentially quash development proposals in the core area.
		The Highlands bill does provide some exemptions for existing church facilities, but Smith said that would not apply in the case of Christ Church, which currently operates out of a cathedral in Montclair.

		The individual players swell in such anonymous unison that when one of them steps out of the group context to solo it is as though he had just arrived.
		Standing between Bill Pound and Terry Rogers is an alto saxophonist of such incredible accomplishment that it is difficult not to compare him with Phil Woods or the late Cannonball Adderley.
		Bill has had to get his lead guitar technique out of the closet, and Terry seems to have all but abandoned the languid, balladeer kind of playing that characterized the duo's early style.
