I don't think this bill is a good idea, it could really mess things up for us here in RI. I hope they reconsider this one.

Man, this bill is really gonna mess things up for me and my family. I can't believe they're trying to change the Miccosukee Reserved Area like this. It's gonna have a huge impact on our community and our way of life. I wish they would listen to us and consider the consequences before making decisions like this. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Representative Smith from Florida?
