PLEASE NOTE: This blog is a bigotry free zone open to all persons, regardless of age, race, religion, color, national origin, sex, political affiliations, marital status, physical or mental disability, age, or sexual orientation. Further, this blog is open to the broad variety of opinions out there and will not delete any comments based upon point of view. However, comments will be deleted if they are worded in an abusive manner and show disrespect for the intellectual process.
The entire public comment process is designed to deter public comments. Government and industry insiders get to talk first. The general public is forced to wait hours before getting a chance to speak. The process is designed to prevent legislators from hearing things they don't want to know about. It is yet another example of why Connecticut is so corrupt.
ReplyDeleteOne simple improvement would be to have separate times for public comments on separate bills. I appreciate that the different legislative committees do not meet often. However, members of the public would have a much easier time testifying if they didn't have to wait through hours of testimony about irrelevant bills to get to testify about the one bill they do care about.
