        The person I’m substituting for is Rep. Richards, apparently.

                This is technically supposed to be an executive session, but we’re still getting a chance to hear testimony from people like @nhhouseclerk anyways

                    Disappointed to hear how much proprietary software our government relies on; we need to moving to free-and-open-source stuff instead as much as possible. #NHPolitics

                      I didn’t read the letter aloud after all; it seemed more focused on remote access specifically, while this bill was a more general study committee. Anyways Republicans ITL-ed the bill on party lines; remember that the GOP aren’t interested in being forward-thinking on tech at all

                          I'm so glad @tjsnh is on this committee to keep everyone in order.

                            ...and we unanimously ITL-ed all the emergency-order-related bills, on the grounds that they're moot at this point. Time to adjourn!
