I have been in this House for 2 years, which is not a lot of time, but I spent 10 years in the Florida House of Representatives. We passed a lot of bills out of this House, but I have never seen the process so broken down. As a Member that has served in the House, I have always been proud of the work, the deliberation of the House. Now I thank God for the Senate.
