Earl Pomeroy: “Reclaiming my time, I am not putting this responsibility on the minority. What the gentleman has alleged, I am not…”

On the recordMarch 12, 2008
Reclaiming my time, I am not putting this responsibility on the minority. What the gentleman has alleged, I am not currently informed of. I don't dispute it, but I don't know it, but I do know that others that were needed to address this issue, others on the majority side did not act. In the end, the majority has responsibility for what we bring in a suspension calendar like this. This majority didn't get the job done.

It is really on its face absurd. And I appreciate very much the leadership of this Committee in giving us these kinds of fora to have us sit in the sun and dissect it a little bit.
