Very briefly, in closing, we get folks on the floor who tell us how much money we have to cut from the budget, from the appropriations, but they really never take time to ask their constituents how they feel about new roads, about hospital help, about education, about climate change, about other issues.

The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
