Drazkowski Amendment - follow-up

Things I learned in the last 3 days: 

  • If I title a blog with a somewhat lesser known piece of state-level legislation, a google search will direct traffic to my blog. The previous post on the Drazkowski Amendment saw more traffic in 2 days than my blog had ever seen in it's entire prior history. 
    • This made me embarrassed about my non-title and so I changed it again, based on a private joke with my gaming group and by recommendation of my wife. I'm still not sure if I'm satisfied. 
  • I can get way, way more traffic to this blog than normal and still get no comments, but I think that might be a good thing, the way comment sections tend to go online. I think people who know me personally feel comfortable commenting, since it is a personal blog. 
  • The amendment was NOT included in the final package passed by the MN legislature. I am very pleased to hear this. 
Also related, my e-mail to Rep Drazkowski did get a reply. It was carefully worded and misleading, and I wrote back to call him out as such. My opinion of him has some direct evidence now, and I will not feel at all bad about encouraging people NOT to vote for him in the future.
