Here's an example of how seriously we are being taken. I just got an email from Radka Barter, the legislative aide for Rep Shaunna O'Connell, at 9:52 PM this evening. We do have legislators burning the midnight oil in order to make things happen tomorrow. Copy/paste below:
Good afternoon John,
Please email/call me tomorrow when you will be at the State House.We will be happy to meet you.
Thank you for your continuous effort.
Kind regards,
Radka Barter

Great. It appears that GOAL is putting it's major effort into Sen Tarr's new, unnumbered bill. I read it and it appears to include much of the language from Sen Humason's earlier bill. Kathy and I will be at the State House tomorrow, so hopefully we can finally meet you and Rep O'Connell if time permits. I have also called the governor's office about this legislation, Sen Pacheco's office and the leadership for both the House and Senate. We are trying to give you folks in the General Court the weight of numbers that you need to empower you.
Thanks,
John
