I have been offering legislative testimony for more than 30 years. Live appearances in Augusta are certainly the most effective, but in recent years I have favored written or zoom testimony over 6 hours of round trip driving. If testimony can be synchronized with op-ed columns in the daily newspapers, that is even better. Unfortunately, since I began to refer to the BDN and PPH as Pravdas on the Penobscot and Presumpscot, they do not seem to want much to do with me. Go figure!
