Quote of the Day

“Members, we have been extremely frustrated for the five or six weeks that we’ve been in special session, and frustrated before months before that. We have been frustrated that we have not been able to put a vote on the board to be statesmen, to be leaders and to put this state on the right path. My hope is that when we do this, we will show the way to the chamber across the rotunda to do the same.”
