Political Quotes

“This bill has been very grossly mischaracterized by the other side. The whole purpose of this provision is to promote reasonableness in bringing lawsuits, reasonableness in settling lawsuits, and will have the ultimate effect of seeing more suits settled and fewer frivolous and nonmeritorious suits brought. This will not have the effect of depriving anything from any plaintiff who brings a meritorious suit in court and it in fact will have, I think, a very positive effect on the cost of goods and services for people who are low income as well as the cost of insurance for people who are low income, auto insurance, homeowners' insurance, et cetera. This bill is designed to say that you cannot come into court under the pretense that there is no risk to bringing a lawsuit. That is exactly what this does, and it counters the ads that we see time and time again in the Yellow Pages and elsewhere that say no recovery, no fee. That is, there is no risk to you to bringing a lawsuit. So come on in.”
