I just want to chime ine with thanks to Michelle for her riveting description of "democracy" in action at the Legislature.
Although it's also true that Michelle's position would have prevailed even if the committee vote on H.F. 67 had been 8 to 8. A tie vote would also have killed the bill. Of course I don’t know why I’m elaborating on the rules since they weren’t really following them anyway... Maybe one day that whole "of the people, by the people for the people" thing will apply to everyone and not just selected favorites...
