A fairly well done program. I wished there had been a State Legislator on the panel… perhaps he would have questioned as to why so many legislators voted against education funding. It really wasn’t made clear that Quinlan represented small business.
And of course most businsses small or large traditonally are against aid to funded education, health care etc,
I WILL vote for Prop100 even though our three represntatives are against the bill.
