Meeting recap

Postby Tim Nunan » Wed May 21, 2008 11:46 am

Calling himself a mountain republican Mike Faulk said that meant "leave me alone" and that was the ideology he'd use in the state Senate when considering legislation.

Mike said that the state should be involved in five issues: clean water, safety, roads ans schools; everything else brought before the Assembly should be viewed skeptically.

In discussing individual rights he said they are not absolute and are subject to reasonable restraint. "The devil is in the details", said Mike. Like you don't get to yell fire in a crowed theater; although Faulk said that the HCP was a form of unreasonable restraint. When asked if he'd support Vermont style carry laws Mike responded "Of course, but I doubt that would ever pass here."

Faulk spoke easily and answered every question with no waffling or hesitation. He seem self assured and confident.

Faulk pointed out the fact that his opponent, Mike Williams, then a Republican voted for Jimmy Naifeh to be House Speaker all but once in the 16 years Williams was a representative.
