How many cell phone accidents have happened in the state in the last 10 years, 5 years, and last year? That is where the attention should be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583992405568389357.post-29056069318549832112012-05-01T21:42:40.703-07:002012-05-01T21:42:40.703-07:00Mr. Anonymous,

When I talked to each committee member specifically about this sentiment after the meeting they said they wouldn't support it even if an enhancement was more equally applied to all violations. However, they could not articulate why they would oppose it. Some of this may be the Transportation Committee's lack of experience with law enforcement type provisions. Depending on what route we decide to pursue (after getting legislator input on a best course), the bill may be assigned to a number of different committees based on the content of the bill.Jeremy Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759437122441687901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583992405568389357.post-59073790742039441942012-05-01T21:30:01.505-07:002012-05-01T21:30:01.505-07:00Why did you run this bill 2011?
