Quote of the Day

“The earthquake legislation I’m doing is not earth-shattering. It’s making sure people know what do during earthquakes and make sure they’re well protected. It should never have been this hard to pass this piece of legislation. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, but we need to prepare our children, the faculty, staff, administrators.”

-Rep. Mike Shelton, proposing a bill for the fifth straight year directing schools to perform earthquake drills (Source)
