I imagine elected representatives are still rushing around trying to figure out the best face to put on for the public. They are all reluctant to make a public statement because it will stick with them for a long time, and this kind of legislation has huge implications and future reprecussions.
I'd love to have LA computer user and technology groups meet together or via teleconferencing to hear what our reps have to say on this. I'll bet that we could get one or more interested if local groups all request it together.
