Testimony: ‘We are the constituents you represent’
So far today, 23 people have testified on SB 1108 and SB 1110, 21 of them against, and two in favor. There are 39 more signed up to testify, all against the bills. Jolene Gunn of Eagle told the House Education Committee, "We don't need to be in such a race to pass these reforms. The majority of your constituents oppose them." Said Mari Anne Batten, "Sitting at a table with stakeholders is not holding anyone hostage. ... These bills do not have the majority support of your constituents. We, ladies and gentlemen, are the constituents who you represent."
