COLUMBUS — It’s dangerous to tweet and drive. But, according to state legislative leaders, it’s also dangerous to tweet and legislate.
The use of Twitter — a microblogging service allowing users to easily send short messages to the masses—became an issue for debate after state Rep. Shannon Jones, R-Springboro, tweeted messages during the State of the State address Tuesday, including: “I believe! I believe! I believe! Lame. Governor Strickland how about the $7 BILLION deficit looming???”
At a conference Thursday with reporters and state leaders, it was a point of contention and a point of humor. Legislative leaders spoke about controlling technology on the floor as a schoolteacher would talk about controlling a group of unruly kids.
