These organizations were well represented at the rally organized by the 9-12 DePats at Leg Hall that Weds to confront their legislators. We were republicans, democrats, libertarians and independents. We may not always agree on everything, but together, we did a great job of fighting HB 392.

Kowalko and Jaques made specific, disprovable claims--that a particular funding mechanism could carry the load. I fisked it.<br /><br />You have my permission (as if you needed it) to do the same to any similar proposed bill by Gary Johnson.Steven H.
