I did hear back from his office and I shared what his legislative aide said in another comment. (My senator is Doug Broxson.) It was a good conversation.
Briefly, the Senator believes that the public has a right to know who is getting paid to advocate on behalf of organizations via their blog posts. I wanted to ask, but didn't get to it, about an instance of Senator Brodeur being on the receiving end of this type of "lobbying".
The legislative aide said that the bill was drafted quickly to make the deadline for this legislative session. It has much review and redrafting to go through and then passage in both houses before it ever makes its way to the Governor's desk. For his signature...or not.
Let us know if you every hear ANTHING (either written or spoken) from your "esteemed" Senator Brodeur.

Did they explain in detail what this bill would contain and why it was drafted in the first place?
