Debbie Dingell: “If the gentleman would permit, cities, States, counties, local units of government are covered under existing law in all…”

On the recordMarch 8, 1995
If the gentleman would permit, cities, States, counties, local units of government are covered under existing law in all matters; all matters, all fashion, all purposes for a period of 3 years. They are given no additional right over those which they have now, and none are taken away from them. They may proceed to litigate in the fashion they may now do for a period of 3 years.
