Worried about constituent pushback? Just pass bills at night!

Nothing screams "transparency" quite like passing controversial
legislation in the wee hours of the night.
That's exactly what your legislators did this week at the
Capitol.
Every piece of legislation which requires a fiscal note has at
least four public hearings before it can reach the Governor's
desk.
There's two in the House Chamber, and two in the Senate Chamber,
and they provide the opportunity for the public to address the
legislators through comment and testimony.
Particularly controversial bills tend to draw hundreds of
citizens to participate in the process.
Now... It would be reasonable to think these hearings should be
held at a time which is convenient for most people to
participate.
Since when is anything taking place at the Capitol "reasonable"
or "convenient"?
On Tuesday, there were a total of 14 bills (each consequential
in nature) schedule to be heard with public comment between 1:30
and 2:00 pm.
Instead, all those citizens physically present at the Capitol,
and those in a queue for virtual participation were left
entirely in the dark as no effort was made to communicate the
delays.
Hearings actually began at 8:19 pm, 8:47 pm and 9:17 pm. The
last concluded with a vote at 1:56 am.
All 14 bills passed their respective committees in the dark of
the night.
Here's a quick look at what legislators forced on us this time:

• HB21-1014: Disability Symbol Identification Document
• HB21-1162: Management of Plastic Products

Citizen Engagement
A great big "thank you" goes out to all our subscribers who are
testifying against so many of these anti-freedom bills.
Engaged citizens are the key to holding government officials
accountable, especially when they pull stunts like passing
legislation in the middle of the night.
Please continue to send us your stories!
And please continue to fight against this radical assault of our
liberties!
For Freedom,
