As always: hard-hitting, thought-provoking and exhortative. Nice.

Since I did offer 2023 MA legislative testimony in favor of the MAVEN incorporation of EMR-S (called EHS back then), I have written a SubStack article with the full text and end notes. Perhaps this may help the cause in some way.

I wonder if it makes sense to put more effort into a ballot initiative petition instead of a legislative bill. In that latter case, a dozen people will see our testimony and there is a lot of heartache along the way. However, were we to get a petition on the ballot, then many thousands of people will be made aware of this issue of EMR-S. What do you think?

HI Ken, I think you know Last Tree Laws https://lasttreelaws.com/ has done incredible work on a ballot initiative side but there is a labor issue in terms of getting signatures. Thank you so much for cross posting your testimony. We used to post the written testimonies when we had the site Stop Smart Meters Massachusetts, because the legislature throws everything out at the end of the session and does not post online. We are the ones recording the history.
