And
10:04
that was work they had been wanting to do for a long time.
10:07
And I just don't understand that.
10:09
Honestly, I grew up in a YMCA and I swam at that YWCA in Lewiston.
10:15
And knowing the group of people from the shooting, so many of them were young people with families.
10:21
The bowling had a kid's night.

It was like a kid's night that night.

What is your response to that? So if you
3:27
Do you want to walk us through how
3:29
that went? Sure.

Thankfully, Representative John Eder, and I truly am so grateful to him, we would not be in front of that committee without him.
3:37
So May 28th, he submitted a letter to his own committee.

That letter, I don't know the process, really.

I don't spend my time going to oversight committee meetings in the state.

Tell us about that piece of it for you, for the victims of the shootings.

I reached out to the mill, the museum, which just had its grand reopening.
15:51
And I asked, acknowledging that you are having this grand reopening, the healing shooting exhibit is getting a new home.
16:01
When there are some people from the shooting who've lost their homes.
16:05
It is not healing to them to see a new home for an exhibit while they don't have one.
