Other jouranalists, please take note of this journalism thing is done, as demonstrated in the following example:

The bill is assigned to the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee. Rep. Eddie Farnsworth, a Republican from Gilbert, is the committee chairman.

“I have nothing to say about it,” said Farnsworth, when we asked him if the bill would get a hearing….

On Tuesday, Farnsworth’s committee heard testimony about and voted on 10 bills. Five of them were bills he, himself sponsored. The committee spent two hours listening to testimony about whether lawyers should have to pay dues to the State Bar of Arizona. It also voted on a bill to ban photo radar, including testimony from one man who believes the government is using it to track people’s every movement.

When we questioned whether those bills were more important than hearing testimony about child marriage, Farnsworth said, “Your comment is silly and has nothing to do with this process.”
