When asked about the takeaways from the debate around HB2 nearly a full year later, Riley-Topping commented that &#8220;The valuable takeaway from this is that it&#8217;s a lot harder to undo legislation than to pass legislation in the first place.  And we&#8217;re not passing a lot of legislation these days, so the fact that this is what we&#8217;ve ended up with, and the fact that we&#8217;re now trying to repeal this, I think the General Assembly needs to really focus on what they&#8217;re spending their energy on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-2\" class=\"x-section\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px; background-color: transparent;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-video embed with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"http:\/\/interactive.tegna-media.com\/video\/embed\/embed.html?id=2537350&#038;type=video&#038;title=Flashpoint 2 - 3\/12&#038;site=275&#038;playerid=6918249996581&#038;dfpid=32805352&#038;dfpposition=Video_prestream_external\u00a7ion=home\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[42,7],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":523,"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510\/revisions\/523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riley-topping.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
