Ugh. My search for speaking material took me ona short journey through federal legislation. Uglier than I thought. Looking at an agriculture bill, in the middle of a section called “Softwoods”, are a couple of items related to telephones!

Was that State or Federal legislation??

Here in CA, the Legislature can do this dirty little bit of chicanery called “gut and amend” where a bill that was passed in the Assembly as a bill about ABC, gets gutted of its original language, and amended to be a bill about XYZ as it heads over to the State Senate. It doesn’t go back to the Assembly for new debate; the vote stands even though it’s, essentially, an entirely different bill than what was voted on. It’s just about the lowest of lowdown trickery I can think of.

Do you have to put up with that kind of evil in WA??

You take something that’s popular, introduce it in
