“I think that by entertaining this motion, you are being divisive. You and I can have a conversation and we can agree to disagree, and I think that when our government leaders are not standing up for decisions that have been made as a whole for this state.”

“Opening fishing, it didn't matter where I went. It seemed like somebody wanted to talk about it. Bigger portion of it was the fact that, why are we even doing this, this is not the state level.”

“I don't care if it's once a month until something happens, a letter to the governor insisting that something gets put on a ballot, so people can have a choice and let their voices be heard.”
Cory Smith ·
“We could choose to fly no flag. It's a flag. We have a lot more pressing issues—the cost of goods, the inflation, the fraud, people's property taxes.”
