On the recordMarch 10, 1994
In sum, Georgia will attempt to comply with the National Voter Registration Act, but we are not happy with unfunded Federal mandates in this or any other area. If the Congress wants programs to be implemented, then Congress should fund such programs accordingly. I could not agree more with these distinguished gentlemen. It is wrong for one government to impose an edict and instruct another government to fund its priorities, and the Congress is not accountable for what has to be done because of a law passed; someone else is. Any time we have a situation where one body can pass laws and order another to be accountable for them, we are developing a major problem and a constitutional crisis.
