We went to our elected representitives, the media and other associations.
It didn't do any good to voice our concerns.
Actually, we initiated a round table discussions with our representitives, and though we got favorable reactions the momentum was overwhelming.
Most of the different sports associations in this area had someone present and we were listened to.
One local representitive to our state house has introduced a change to the law but with no luck.
Incidentily, we had 0%, none, nada response or help from the Democrats in this area that we contacted.........hmmmm..........wonder why?

Y'all know where I stand here... but if you, as a group, refused to have BI's initiated, then all you had to do to stand up for your rights was to NOT sign off on it. What are they going to do if NO umpire is available for them because of this policy?
