the general problems that are going to come before them
|
|
2
|
to make decisions on. To expect a group of people to
|
|
3
|
accept in toto the work of the committee, 1 think, is
|
|
4
|
unrealistic, because there are going to be many people
|
|
5
|
who are going to feel that what the committee has done
|
|
6
|
may not need to have been done, the corrections made by
|
|
7
|
the committee, for the bill to be enacted.

|
It seems these people sometimes "need the lobby-
|
|
9
|
ist to point out certain things that the committee may
|
|
10
|
have done that may not be to the best interests of the
|
|
11
|
people. Again, this comes down sometimes with a biased
|
|
12
|
point of view, based on maybe it would be from a business
|
|
13
|
point of view, insurance or labor or whatever the case may
|
|
14
|
be, but I think in the over-all picture, the lobbyists
|
|
15
|
play a very important part in the makeup of the legis-
|
|
16
|
lative procedure and at the same time are a guiding light
|
|
17
|
for many of the legislators who have been there for many,
|
|
18
|
many years, even though, with their experience, they find
|
|
19
|
they cannot keep up with the kind of trend being developed
|
|
20
|
today because of the education of the people on what the
|
|
21
|
issues are and what they desire the legislator could do
|
