This is pathetic, Al. I would hope that the AG's office would want to
discuss this concern with you directly and right away to ascertain
whether there is an impropriety on the SoS' office or not. The e-mail
thread comes across as a blatant disregard for a citizen's concern. Monty alkolwicz wrote: You all might want to read this sequence -- bottom up.

As you see, the conflict is with the Secretary of State, and I have met with the Secretary of State and they refuse to correct this false information using arguments that are outlandish. There must be a way to get third party help in a situation like this. We've got the accused serving as judge.

At least one Senator, on 3/4 vote said, before voting, that he voted against a strengthening amendment because of the SOS testimony. We believe that the SOS should have known the accurate facts or at least explained that there were differences of opinion. Is there any provision in the law to protect the public from public officials' providing legislators with inaccurate data when lobbying for their own bill? The bill is due for 3rd hearing in the Senate. Thank you for your prompt consideration.
