I don't think this is a good idea. It's gonna cause a lot of problems for us. I don't like it at all. It's gonna be bad for everyone in the long run.

This bill, it's just so sad. It's like they don't even care about us. How can they think a pilot program for tick identification is more important than real issues like healthcare or education? I can't believe this is what our government is spending time on. How will this bill really help anyone in the long run?
