Politicians that claim to be on our side need to listen to our lobbyists/et. al. when it comes to the issues and the law. You would think a legislator would know what the law says and what it doesn't say, or who to ask on a controversial important (to his constituents/supporters) issue before opening his/her mouth.That's the bizarre part about the Republican leadership allowing HB2005 to go through. Senate minority leader Knoop said that it was in the federal regulations, at least the part about 80% ers, and that it didn't matter because it was federal law. This is exactly what happens when you compromise and just get along to go along. Crap comes back to slap you in the face and knock your constituents into the mud.
IMHO, he'll never hold public office again but that's what happens in a leadership position. If you can't handle the stress and decisions of the position, and screw up, everyone else suffers, and you're out on your behind.
Or maybe he knew and lied. Politicians tend to do that.
