I emailed Rep. Hunt’s legislative assistant to find out if there had been anything new after our meeting. At the time Hunt said he’d talk to the state government committee staff. She had no news, but said that she’d follow up with Hunt for me.
Also, I’m emailing Rep. Sherry Appleton this afternoon to prompt her [...]
Having not met with many elected officials (well, probably more than most people, but I’m still not used to it) I’d say today’s meeting with Rep. Sam Hunt went well.
As a sort of review, I’d been trying to schedule a meeting with him since summer, but through a series of mishaps and misadventures, I wasn’t [...]
Tomorrow I’ll finally sit down with my local representative that has a more direct say in bills that effect the initiative process. Mostly my fault it has taken me so long, and I’m thinking this lateness will really prevent anything happening on Printer Democracy this session.
I’m sure Rep. Hunt already has tons on his plate [...]
I can’t tell you, the meeting was moved to Nov. 29. And, I’m probably going to have to call to change that meeting time too, since I have something going on that morning for work, most likely. Crap-a-doodle. I’m not very good at being a lobbyist, I can’t even get the scheduling thing down.
Freaking finally.
Exchanged emails with Hunt’s LA today, and we’re on for Nov. 16 at 9a (Rep. Hunt has a breakfast meeting) 915a.
This might also be a good day to do my lit drop at the legislative office buildings, since they might just be in committee that week.
If you just happened upon this blog, and you were wondering what the heck this is all about, and whether I’m actually dead and so is the idea, fear not. I’m not, its not.
I’ve been off working on other related projects, like this one that is meant to collect other great ideas like mine and [...]
The meeting went well, I was early (way early) and so I scoured the first floor of the office building he's in for a nice bench so I could enjoy their nice public wifi. I ended up settling for an almost falling apart chair left outside a hearing room. No public seating in the John [...]
This Thursday, I'm going to have my first meeting on this with an actual legislature. I was talking with Rep. Brendan Williams' LA earlier this week on another topic, and I thought as long as I was on the line, I might as well ask for a meeting so I could go over with him [...]
I think I've pretty much wrapped up researching this for now. There are still some questions out there (especially the entire union angle I never considered), but I think it is time to start sitting down with other folks on this one.
I'm going to call one of my representatives in the next few days to [...]
