Nancy: a question for you about the process of bills in GA-does your state allow remote testimony about the bills (online or written) from the public, lobbyists, elected officials, state agency staff members of the public, and judicial branch employee/officials i.e. input regarding bills? It permits those individuals to choose support or opposition to whatever bill is up for consideration? Here in NH, we can do so and for about the past month, I've been giving my input by following the lead of a progressive group who post those bills, what they're about, and the group's stance on the bill. A couple weeks ago, a bill received 7 K responses from progressives and less than 1K from regressives. Sad to say. since the Nov. election, we have a Republican Quadrafecta Gov., House, Senate, and the Executive Council (an advisory board). The thing that scares me is that the House Judiciary Committee is talking about abolishing the Remote Testimony. It appears they want to be totally opaque and refuse to accept any input from the public. I wouldn't be surprised if all the House and Senate Committees will do likewise.
