Sounds like a good idea

The problem is the state allows this. We need to get some reform at the state level. We need to tell our state legislators to do something. Problem is, they all are dual office holders around here.

How long should it take for them to issue an opinion on this?

In Seattle we expected our elected officials to be responsive to us when we called or wrote. You should say something to those who are not responding and applaud those who do.
