Citizen input on this bill is excellent. Various means of communication
have gotten to the grassroots. The bill was introduced into State
Affairs today. People who wanted to testify were standing in the
hallway. Only 6 of 53 people who wanted to testify were able to do so
--the hearings will continue tomorrow and I suspect a larger meeting
room will be scheduled.
I talked with three Representatives who said that e mails, faxes, letters,
and calls were coming in at an accelerated rate and they were going
to vote against the bill. They previously had been non commital or
supportive.
