Political Quotes

On the recordApril 17, 1996
reclaiming my time, what happens is though the States say ``If I am going to get it, I will take it.'' Even my own State said we are against these projects, but if everyone else is doing it, can you do it. So I think it is better that it fits into the overall State's plan. I think the Governor is the best one to determine it and the money ought to go back on a systematic formula. There are good and decent people on both sides. I am not questioning anybody for the way they do this. I think the amendment makes sense, and I ask strong support for the amendment. I am not going to hold my breath until it passes, but it would be a good thing.
