So I would love to see our legislative leaders spending time, energy and resources working with people that they, quote, unquote, say aren't with us, but aren't nefarious. They're good people. Yeah. Legislators are paid nothing. They have full time jobs, they have children, they have responsibilities. They get done with session after being harassed by lobbyists all day at their desks, and then they have to go do five, six, seven hours of reading and they don't understand half of it. (58:37–58:44)
