I support this bill because the executive council should have more power to limit the powers of the governor. Commanding the national guard is a very great power and should not be done without the consent of the executive council.

Declaring the first weekend in June as “Wear Orange” is the very least we can do to remember those whose lives were taken by firearms. They are the leading cause of death for children in the US, not a #1 status to be proud of.
