Thank you, Connie, for giving us another point of view on this bill. This
is the type of discussion that is needed for sure! An example of a bill that
can have "unintended consequences" . Reading all the bills carefully and
LOOKING for the unintended consequences is something we all must do now,
because
sneakier and sneakier, the snakes in the grass slither in.
There's a "feel good" bill in CA right now. Surely it doesn't make good
sense to drive with a dog in your lap...but read the bill carefully...will that
extend to our ability to have a dog loose in the car? I need to read the
bill.
