“I am disturbed at the practice of the other body in mixing public and private legislation in the same bill, and I would hope that the consideration of this bill today as a mixture of both public legislation and private legislation will not be viewed as a precedent for future mixings by either this body or the other body. I would hope that this motion to suspend the rules will be overwhelmingly agreed to so that we can get these three items out of the way and enacted into law, but I would hope we would be a little bit more careful procedurally as we deal with both public and private legislation in the future.”
