Draper to Perry: revised ban letter draft

I am writing to follow up on this week’s interactions in my office. I want to clarify the roll of legislative staff. They are not elected officials but serve our constituents in a professional capacity, and as such, are not subject to the same public scrutiny as I am. I understand your passion about veterans issues, and am grateful for your service and advocacy. However, the situation in my office this week was not acceptable.

While I fully support your cause, I cannot help you introduce your legislative concept and if you wish, you can appeal to another member of the Legislature to help you. Effective immediately, you are no longer permitted to visit my office in person. However, you are free to communicate with my office through alternative channels, such as electronic email or the United States Postal Service.
