IVORY-TOWER DWELLERS

The best lawmakers, Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña said on Facebook, are those who are experienced in local government, not those who write laws “in ivory towers.”

Many of those lawmakers who passed the Children on Motorcycle Safety Act of 2015 are former mayors and governors and most of them regularly consult mayors and governors in their districts.

They can’t be said to be totally ivory-tower dwellers.
