Thanks owed to Criminal Law Committee

[cachenut]

Someone on another forum said the criminal law committee failed us and lied because the bill passed there with a 20 to zip vote. I don't agree.

Clearly there was a lot of resistance within the committee itself or they never would have gutted the bill. This happened only because Plum etc. were sure their bill would die in committee if they did not change it. And I expect there was a negotiation process where Plum etc. said well what if we just take these two section out. In the end they had to gut the bill just to get it out of committee.

So the group who really fixed this bill for us is the Criminal Law committee.

We should all email to thank them for their efforts. We should be grateful they helped us get it done. If anyone deserves the credit they do.

After you write a paragraph thanking them don't forget to ask them to vote against the bill when it comes up for a vote. This group is a good one to ask to vote against the bill. After all they kept it in committee and gutted it and I am sure they would like to put it to bed now.

well the Criminal Committee did pass the bill but only after rewriting it to exclude most of the original bill.
Many, many people e-mailed or called about this bill and that person just got their facts mixed up.

Here's the response I got from them when I wrote in opposition of the bill:

Thank you for your recent e-mail. Be assured that input from citizens like
yourself is foremost in my mind as I consider any action I may take on an
issue before the state legislature.
Let me refer you to my web site, www.delegatebobtata.com. There you will
find a link to the General Assembly Session where you can track legislation
as it goes through the process.

Bob Tata, Delegate
85th District


What do you know, I rated a reply! It might be canned, might not, but I take it this way...Bob Tata is the only one who thought enough of an average citizen to reply to me. I really didn't expect any reply at all, which is a real shame, but that's what we've come to expect in this world of politicians. It's nice that there is at least one in the bunch who hears us as a voice instead of a bothersome buzz in their ear.
