r u rdy 2 mt f2f re H.B. 515?

Posted by Richard Morrison

Unfortunately for members of the lower house of Maine’s legislature, some of their colleagues have decided that they all have less self-control than most 14-year olds. The Pine Tree State’s House of Representatives is considering enacting a ban on txt msgs (”text messages”) from lobbyists to legislators while they’re on the floor. It seems these newfangled electronic communications have the power to re-program the brains of state representatives, causing them to vote against their better judgement. Lobbyists will retain the priviledge of telling their pet politicians how to vote via written notes passed to pages. L8R!
