Was backstage at a SXSW show, the hospitality guy was putting out snacks including chips & salsa “made in Brooklyn” and that commercial immediately played in its entirety in my head

A thought - I wonder if NCSL might be a resource for identifying state legislatures that use or need a tool like this, perhaps comparing it to what states have built/are building on their own? www.ncsl.org/about-state-...

Dade Phelan @DadePhelan · 13h Thankfully these two members of Congress resigned today because survivors spoke up. If you have been waiting to see whether this system could hold someone accountable - today it did. If you have a story, there are people ready to hear it. Your silence has never been the problem. The people who put you in that position were. This is your contact: @OliviaMesser
anyway #txlege, I don’t often recommend listening to the former speaker of the Texas House, but on this score I gotta say I do

I think the same is true for statutory interpretation; I mean I may be interested in version history but it doesn’t seem especially relevant to what the current language means

That’s true so far as it goes but it’s not something that tends to happen in the actual political process of passing legislation, at least in my jurisdiction. I’ve never seen a member argue for an amendment based on what the law used to say, why would they

Seeing this in context, it is not my experience that the version history of a statutory provision has much relevance to proposed legislation. Members tend to care about what it says now, and changing that

All of this already exists, and yes it is very useful in the nuts and bolts of the legislative process. If this is about a set of easily implementable tools to bring these things to jurisdictions that don’t already have them, then I can see the value. No substitute for good legislative counsel tho

It just looks like standard bracketing and underlining but less clear.

Considering Austin sends about an equal amount of local prop tax money back to the state as it spends locally on schools which the state is free to spend on nonsense instead of public ed, probably at least some of it!

Put another way, if inaccurate rolls don’t have a concrete negative effect on, is there a compelling reason why resources used to update the rolls couldn’t be more usefully spent on expanding participation through improved registration/outreach to qualified voters?

Sincere question: what is the harm in states having over inclusive/outdated voter rolls, if there is no evidence of fraud associated with those state names?
