My recommendation, and I have done this before, is instead of having the taxpayers pay for an hour of one side of the issues is to engage in debate, to have an actual discussion. The facts presented about the arrest yesterday, if one iota of what has been said tonight was true, we would be joined together. The fact of the matter is, it is completely untrue.

If my colleagues do not want to share time, it is sort of like saying they do not want the truth to be known. ... it is truly disingenuous to come down and ask for time when this is our time to talk about this issue and we have asked over and over and over again.
