Thank you for your recent email regarding your opposition to House Bill 4836, the so-called "hate crime" legislation.  I agree with the points you made in your email, especially about treating all crimes equally, no matter who they are committed upon.  You should know there are a number of amendments being offered to make the bill better (so all victims are treated the same), but as currently written I am opposed to the legislation.

Sincerely,

Dave Hildenbrand
State Representative - District 86
