In a Fast Moving World Confusion Reigns Supreme

The past two weeks has been like driving 100 mph through fog. A bill is filed. No real explanation provided. Changes are coming. Parliamentary procedures to follow.

It is all just downright confusing.

Yesterday Senator Creighton provided an update on Senate Bill 1964 (see below). The good news is the Senator seems to be continuing to improve the proposed legislation through his public statements. However, his statements lead us to continue to ask two fundamental questions:

1. Why does a bill need to be filled to start such a discussion in the first place?
2. When can we expect to see a publicly released re-write of the legislation if the Senator feels a bill must continue through the process?

​
We understand that procedure in the State Senate may preclude Senator Creighton from changing language today. It does not preclude the Senator from publicly releasing what his amendments to the legislation will be.

All of these recent developments will be great topics of discussion with the Senator at our upcoming community meeting.
