“Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have been accused of lying. I don't mind that. I mean, I am a politician. People do that every single day. But I believe that someone may be guilty of misleading this body about my position. So I am going to take a few minutes to explain my position. It may or may not coincide with the end of time set aside for debate. But our State motto is ``Esse Quam Videri.'' Mr. Chair, may I have order? The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senate will come to order. The Senators will take conversations outside the chamber.”
