Thank you.

Majority leader, in the beginning of of every session, you say that we need to have be polite with each other and treat each other with respect, and that was not done today.
1:11:09
And what was done was was was a member brought up indiscretions of other members instead of voting their conscience and what they believed on these bills.
1:11:22
And that's petty and it's wrong.
1:11:25
We should not be looking at and saying who tweeted something, who did something in a moment of passion and who did something that they already were were was dismissed.
1:11:37
What we should say is look at each one of our Twitter feeds and tell me if there is anyone without sin cast their first stone.
1:11:46
And on that note, I will vote no on 12 o one a, 12 o three a, 12 o four a, two four six a, home rule SLR one, and I on all the rest.
1:11:58
Thank you for the time.
