Let's see if I've got this straight: We, the taxpayers, provide every legislator a laptop computer and a BlackBerry smart phone for them to use while conducting the people's business in the people's House and anywhere else they choose to do the people's business. We then pay 100 percent of their Internet bill and their BlackBerry phone bill even though some of their e-mails, texts and/or Internet surfing may be of a personal nature.
And now they want to keep all of their legislative e-mails and texting private, even though it is our business conducted on our dime? And this change in the law is necessary to protect their constituents' right to privacy?
Give me a break!
