I wouldn’t necessarily subscribe to the idea that members of XYZ committee are better equipped to vet a bill covering XYZ topic than the members of a different committee. In my experience very few people in XYZ committee have close working knowledge of XYZ topic. They move very quickly (at least in WA) throughout their day talking about gun laws, then salmon population, then housing, then drugs, then whether or not to tack on $1 to the cost of each Mariners ticket for SoDo neighborhood improvements, to stem cell research, etc. it’s like speed dating from one issue to the next in rapid succession, and again, members of XYZ committee are not necessarily experts on XYZ topic.

Yeah but that’s what legislative services divisions are for dawg

Spoiler: show

Because I don’t really know what it means

We just need to vote for the other political party, and when that party has total control of the government, then the corruption will stop.

Careful Burt, it’s a slippery slope to my sort of moderate political stance
