<p><strong>On another note:</strong> Having attended (barring 1) all work sessions of the ENR and some EUT, this was probably the most honest thing that I heard, as it was stated in the committee work sessions on at least two occasions,</p>
<p>......<strong>we</strong> (the committee) <strong>are unqualified to make these decisions and are left to rely only on those experts and the public that provide us information</strong> .....</p>

<p><strong>Reflective thoughts:</strong></p>
<p>The only lunacy is <strong>a time constraint</strong> (by corporate created statute) <strong>to make a decision</strong>. <em>Good laws take time. Laws that are adopted too quickly are often revisited and tweaked, usually by corporations, without public notice, that exploit the weaknesses of a law not carefully based on sciences and facts.</em> Better laws were created back when Maine's Legislature met only every two years, which was not so long ago. It gave our Legislators time to <strong>become Informed</strong>, <strong>listen to the people, research the facts of science and potential harms or benefits</strong>. A slower process, yes, but more carefully thought out. This is something that where going backwards, is a step forward. Over 1500 bills were introduced this session starting in 2015. Who has the time to make an <em><strong>informed decision</strong></em> as to how to correct the past wrongs, or implement better protections in 5½ months? Especially when those that seek to exploit Maine have had years to design their attack with implementation of prior language to allow for a final strike.</p>
