Rich, Kevin and Dee, the P-Team. Privacy. We engineered an across-the-board privacy initiative that has probably not been seen since. My cable TV privacy bill when Manhattan wasn’t wired and cable wanted interactive was A.B.1984. Techies, take note of the number and year. Including my loving husband.
We fought for privacy in banking, home loans, and other consumer transactions. While I wrote the cable bill myself and hoped for a framed portrait of the bill with the Governor’s pen, it was Readers’ Digest that scuttled the deal, telling the Senate at the last moment that it might hurt their future earnings.
I shed tears in the ladies’ room for my “baby” and put it to rest. I do wish I had a copy of it now for hubris if nothing else. Anyway, the P-Team was a highlight in my legislative career and I’ve my team-mates to thank for that.
One is a successful lawyer and the other is head of our former staff. I prefer to do my privacy policy recommendations as a registered voter. Please use your voice and vote to go against any legislative attempt to make you keep logs of anyone you have any contact with on a computer or Vonage or other VoIP device for two years to give to law enforcement. This is a burdensome and unnecessary, and unwarranted and unconstitutional requirement that TX State Senator Cornyn wants passed. My political moment is over, back to cooking. Dee
It’s good to know that I was 20 years ahead of the times in at least one thing. It’s an important thing, not like fashion. Dee
