On the recordFebruary 1, 1995
Reclaiming my time, that is only the point I want to make. I am not speaking to the issue of the amendment. I just simply want to say that some of us believe this is good for the country. We believe it is good for local government, for State government, for us to be forced to take accountability for our actions here, and we are not throwing in with anybody's agenda for 100 days. We are doing what we think is right, those of us who support the unfunded mandate legislation. I want to make that perfectly clear to my side of the aisle. We are not throwing in with anybody's 100-day agenda. We are doing what is right, what we feel is right. It is consistent with what we have been doing not just the last couple of weeks but for the last few years.

I do have a problem with the manager's amendment. If we come in with a very broad amendment, we could undercut the very intention of the unfunded mandate legislation in that if it did not qualify for a point of order, it could put all…
