I only got to follow the first 20 minutes or so -- what was the final result, did it pass out of committee?

I've got what may be a dumb question but here goes anyway: how do they pick who is allowed to speak to the committee? I mean, Alice Tripp, of course she should. And as much as I cannot stand them, the Mothers group is a "public advocacy group", so I can see that, too. But where do they get some of these people?

You may be giving some too much credit, "breathers" may be more accurate.

Actually the process is pretty straight forward. You fill in a 'request to speak card' and turn it in, and then wait your turn. Anybody can. You just have to get to Austin to speak. I don't think there's a "selection process".

Was out again -- did I miss them coming back, or has that not happened yet?

Chas.
I'd like to see you cross-examine the chiefs of police for these campuses about how they're doing a poor job of securing their facilities and underreporting criminal activity....that's what should get put on public record.
