"As a lobbyist last session I had many opportu
nities to observe Rep Mary McCauley Burrows
in committees and involved in debates on the
Floor of the House Something that becomes
rapidly apparent to the political observer is that
Mary is enormously respected by her peers and
therefore is a very effective legislator I have
seen her grow frustrated with the debate that
was occurring on bills in the House — jot down
notes — and rise to speak so eloquently as to
turn the tide of sentiment on the bills "
