Brian Cronin’s Statement Vs. HB 1108

Here is Rep. Brian Cronin’s (D-Boise, pictured) prepared text for his floor debate in the House against Senate Bill 1108 today. We reprint it here with his permission: ” This bill is flawed seventeen ways from Sunday. But rather than talk specifics, the so-called details that many don’t want to be troubled with, let’s talk about the underlying meaning of these bills. I want to start by saying that I resent the suggestion that because I do not support this legislation, that somehow my reaction is emotional or irrational, as many opponents of this plan have been characterized. It’s been suggested that the hundreds of emails I get every week have been written by people that don’t understand the legislation. Such an assessment is as condescending as it is inaccurate”/ Bill’s Pea Soup has Complete statement by Brian Cronin opposing Tom Luna “reform” plan bill here.
