I'm befuddled and disappointed. After this HB201 issue surfaced to public attention, several emails and forum posts circulated. Post authors and quotees like Amy Thurman, Charlie Waller (GAMBA) and Jack White all indicated they had not been consulted as HB201 moved through the legislature. How is it now possible for Doug Haymans to have such a different perspective? How can he assert that GAMBA was involved when both the president and the executive director said they were not? There is obviously something wrong here. Perhaps someone can clear it up for me? Doesn't feel right.
