At one meeting today, I thought, but did not say, that if our discussions failed to bring about the desired result this session, I could introduce a stronger bill next year.
That, of course, assumes that the voters of the 41st District will elect me to another four-year term.
I am not leaving that result to chance.
During another discussion this morning, I told a constituent that having our bill heard in Annapolis may prompt the people affected by it to be more responsive to our concerns than they would be if there was no bill.
Put another way, nothing concentrates the mind like a bill hearing.
