The governor appointed people to the hate crimes and discrimination commission who share the goal of the commission -- to eliminate hate crimes and discrimination wherever it exists.
The commission is all about identifying and eliminating discrimination and hate-based violence, whether it's religious, racial, gender, sexual orientation or ethnic or cultural bias. Intolerance of any kind is wrong. We'll be working to change policies as well.
In order for the commission to truly achieve its mission, it must be inclusive not exclusive and respectfully and constructively bring together people of different backgrounds and voices to solve our differences.
