    interests of governors across the nation are accurately represented on the council

    Is this just bad wording? Shouldn’t it be the interests of the people whom the governors represent?

      No, it is accurate. The committee was about the interests of the governors in the context of differences between states, and while the governor’s interests should align with the people they represent, they don’t always line up.

        In my state it doesn’t like up at all. “I see there’s a lot of hunters and fishermen in this state. How about we sell more land to giant corporations and poison the waterways with farm runoff?” And half of them are like “anything to own the libs! Hyuck hyuck!”

        while the governors’ interests should align with the people they represent, they don’t.
