I was at this committee meeting...at 7am on a national holiday??? The room was so packed I was outside and couldn't hear what was going on so I am overly amazed to find it on here. I did see numerous video cameras in the room and I do feel that the overwhelming turnout of the public along with the cameras did have an impact on how it went down. It wasn't a surprise this was voted down, but we will see it again. This year I am part of a group that was brought on by the Dem. Caucus to attend EVERY committee meeting, and sub committee. We are recording votes and making sleazy moves by the Republicans (suck as a 7am committee meeting) well known. What we do need are some proactive constituents from this area make their ways Richmond and lobby on behalf of important bills. I work in a delegates office and deal see first hand the impact constituents really do have on how a delegate votes.
