1. Ours changed the format for this year.

No more rebuttals. They say it was to streamline the process so more questions can be brought to the elected officials.

What it actually does is allow them to pivot from the question without anyone calling them on it.

The answers for our first one this year were pretty hollow. There was a lot of "let's see what happens in the new year." Now that they've put in some more legislative time, we'll see if they try to weasel out of answering this time.


Edited to add: Thanks for that link! I'm sharing it with the 3rd district Dems on Facebook.

2. I admit I didn't go to ours last week - can't stomach the lies from Republicans

and as you noted last year they began a policy of no followup questions.

Please share that link as far as possible.

3. I learned new hybrid/GMOs crops and groundwater will save us from climate change

according to Rep David Sieck R 23rd. Sen. Mark Costello R 12th confessed he couldn't set an alarm to arrive on time and then spoke how he knows what is best for women and their bodies.
