“We had an overseer in the 1991 election, but it didn't cost $22 million. We ought to be able to have one in the 1998 election and not have it cost taxpayers $22 million. The overseer costs almost $400,000 for that one position. That is a lot of money. I don't have too many constituents that make that kind of money--$175 an hour. We had a lot of supervision and still had a corrupt election. We can still have supervision, but we should not pay for it. We had a clean election in 1991. We should not have to do this again in 1998.”
