On the recordFebruary 13, 1995
The gentleman very articulately spelled out the reasons why this amendment is important. To use another example, in my community, the city of Cincinnati, when the city police officers make arrests, the criminals are basically then turned over to the county. The county prosecutes them, there are county judges and they are incarcerated at county expenses. So what we want to occur is some fairness and reasonableness, and for the city and the county to work together, and I think they will. I think the counties and the cities all across this country are very reasonable and will do that.
