Earl Pomeroy: “I think the apology to this body ought to be for the overall process, bringing a budget of this country to the floor…”

On the recordMay 3, 2001
I think the apology to this body ought to be for the overall process, bringing a budget of this country to the floor with no minority input, with no adequate time for minority review. What a sad thing. It would take sheer incompetence of the majority as opposed to legislative decency to give the minority the time to adequately review the document as certainly would comport with any fair-minded view of legislative process in the first place.
