A homeschooled student gave this account of a Minnesota Association of Christian Home Educators-sponsored "
Legislative Training Day Workshop" in 2005:
"After lunch we spent a good portion of the afternoon participating in a mock committee hearing at which Representative Mark Olson introduced the Personal Rapid Transit Bill as the author. Former Representative John Tuma played the role of committee chairman, and we students had the opportunity to question the author and debate the bill in our roles as "representatives." This really gave us the feeling of what it would be like to be a legislator."
