    Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000. In 2017, Morris was tapped by Gov.

      Wow, the GOP actually hired an expert with hands on experience in child sexual abuse. Thats and unusual departure from their regular practice of inexperienced and unqualified people put in positions to decide legislation.
