...about how serious Panaroni is about these bills? After reading the transcript of the hearing and seeing these comments, it seems to me that perhaps he's being goaded into this by certain (wealthy?) constituents, but really doesn't have much interest in getting them passed. What do those of you who were there think?
I'd say it's admirable that he's shifting focus to PFD usage, which actually could be beneficial. However, with only 2.something deaths per year on average, how effective can any legislation be? It seems to me that what needs to get out to the general public is the fact that there really is not serious safety issue at stake and that all of this is largely a waste of taxpayer's money in unnecessary hearings and paperwork.
