William Ryan

Mark Rosenberg
This is part of the dance of the Legislature.

Daryl Logullo
If we don't, we could end up with Democrats in the Legislature and, Heaven forbid, a liberal like Chris Bell for governor.

We asked Oregon folks why did it happen, and they said ... the Legislature had been given two or three chances to do some common-sense stuff and they hadn't done it.
Keith Phillips
He does have the authority to do it and probably should do it. He probably would get total legislative approval if he wants the Legislature to do it. I can't imagine that any legislator would say there wasn't an emergency.

Peggy Kerns
Investing in infrastructure is an easy thing to ignore because it creeps up on you and you don't know it's in a crisis mode sometimes until it's too late.

John Simpkins
Community colleges have been a big issue at the Legislature.
Luci Willits

Peter Schiff
He has a good global view, and there's an immediacy because he has been up at the legislature.
John Klein
We fought for this funding very hard, and obviously the Legislature agreed with us and not the governor. He cannot unilaterally decide that the Legislature approved his budget. That's clearly not what happened.

There are pretty good controls in place now. If the Legislature tried to change controls I think the outcry would be great.

Robert Torricelli
This is really historic. This is really the first time in 30 years the Florida legislature is looking at this bill.
Joe Saunders
History has shown that the Legislature has never done that. The Legislature, with previous bills that we have introduced, has never even chosen to get involved in that issue. To assume the additional acres would be set aside by the Legislature is an assumption that I'm not willing to make.
Steve Roman
Now the Legislature has said it is clear that the law against gifts never envisioned covering this kind of stuff at conferences. That's our perspective, and we'll make that case to the [ethics] commission.
Mark Herron
To my knowledge, the Legislature never did approve a funding source for it.

The fact that the Legislature has to approve the budget for an agency that oversees their activities is kind of a conflict of interest.

Tom Campbell
The Executive Council makes all policy. The (legislature) does not make policy.

... all we're asking is that they kick it back to the Legislature. We just don't want them to go further and interpret what their decision means to the law.
Richard Debolt
The Legislature has been very responsible in terms of good fiscal policy.
Coleman Stipanovich
(The court) appointed a master, and the Legislature did fund the courts.

The Legislature showed a clear commitment to helping students learn -- and having a diploma that means something.
Marc Frazer
It will be the biggest issue that the Legislature will be focusing on.

Mark Delegal
The legislature is not a rubber-stamp organization, ... We are an independent branch of government.
Gloria Romero
Having some kind of political kangaroo court was not the intent of the framers of the constitution and is not the intent of the speaker of the house. He considers the integrity of the Legislature and the judiciary very important.
Scott Borgemenke
The point is, the Legislature has not met its constitutional requirements.
Art Johnson
This is a cut of unprecedented size. We'll try to work with the governor and Legislature, asking them to consider higher education as an investment.
Donald Farish
The Virginia legislature is never snap your fingers and it's done. It's a long process.

John W. Rowe
I want Texans to be assured even though this Legislature did not act, I will.
Patrick Perry
We were working with the Railroad Commission to get it done rather than to get a bill passed in the legislature. I'm not fully in favor of everything they're doing.
Morris Burns
But it will end up, technically, the same way. One way or another, the legislature will decide what happens.
Michael Griffith
This sounds like a legacy budget for the governor. He's trying to set a tone that's not confrontational in hopes of getting it through the Legislature.
Blair Horner
It becomes a gaming issue only when and if the Legislature passes the bill, and it becomes a referendum in Kanawha, Ohio, Hancock, and Jefferson counties.
John Cavacini
We are really hoping this bill gets passed. Letters from students would have an impact on legislature if they were so inclined.
Stephen Shorb
We're very confident in the process that we've been following. This is a good example of the kinds of delays and distractions that can slow down this process and keep the contract getting to the Legislature and the public.
Becky Hultberg
They consider me an impediment in coming state legislature elections.
Yasin Malik
Yet declines to give them any relief other than an exhortation to the Legislature to deal with the problem.

Pahl Shipley
I'm encouraged that the governor is going to stop the runaway Legislature, and he's going to represent the people.
Karen England
We're hopeful that it will be adopted by the legislature. But obviously there's a lot of competing interests ... it's too early to tell.
Jay Blanton
If I had a bill in front of the legislature and came to the Coon Supper with enough bottles of 'Old No. 7' for all the legislators in attendance, it would be called bribery. When Jack Daniel's does it, it's just politics as usual.
Andrew Johnson
Just get rid of judges altogether. Just let the Legislature set the sentences.
Don Samuel
It's just that there's other things to do. The legislature is one thing on my agenda, and you've got to look at my daily agenda. It's huge.
Ralph Klein
The legislature shouldn't cut money for education. There are over 6 million kids in the K-12 system and anybody in California knows they are the future for this economy.
Bob Mulholland
It's hard to talk about the budget until the Legislature goes home.
Betty Gray
Right now, the governor is focused on governing and the upcoming session of the Legislature.
Dax Swatek
Our tax credits will still be available from the state, because they come from the legislature.
Jamie Harris
The citizens are in a battle with the legislature, and the citizens are winning. If this is the first step, we will take it. But we are going to keep on going... until they pay back every dime.
Gene Stilp
The BJP believe this meeting could amount to generating a clash between the judiciary and legislature. Such a meeting is inappropriate.
Vk Malhotra
This is a false crisis. It's a crisis that exists in the Legislature alone and nowhere out there on the streets.

Judges shouldn't be partisan. They should just interpret the law, look at what the Legislature intended and act accordingly.
Rep. Randy Hinshaw
Part of our investigation is to find out what the Legislature can do.
Peter Strohmeier
I think the control board should either send it back to the legislature for balancing, or they should go to a hard control board immediately.

What the municipal court has said is that in order to practice law as a court-appointed counsel, you have to do this thing that the Legislature cooked up.
Jeff Gamso
There have been attempts ever since in the California Assembly to push a bill through, and they have never made it. It's being tried again, though, in the (Legislature), and there has been some fancy footwork.
Rita Marker
We are falling within the mandate that the Legislature gave us.
Robert Ceberio
We don't get to vote on an override, nor do we get to veto. That is clearly the domain of the governor and the Legislature.
Paul Larrabee
A statute passed by the people has more power than a statute passed by the Legislature.
Karen Holgate
If it is part of a collective bargaining agreement, the Legislature would likely look favorably on it.
Richard Stapler
We introduced the bill (to the Legislature).
George Maloof
Would join the Conservative Coalition in the state Legislature. About 60 percent of the Legislature are members or considered conservative, which my father was one of them.
Charles Capps
I can't imagine that someone in the state legislature has a better idea of how we should be doing our jobs.
Andrew Metrick
The Legislature this year is going to be very difficult. If we can all come to a consensus ... and get a commitment from the governor, it's going to make our jobs a lot easier.
David Senn
The Legislature will not waste taxpayers' money and come back to town to do something this board has already done.
Howard Lee
That got my blood boiling because the Legislature thinks they're invulnerable.
Cody Knotts
When this initiative fails, the legislature which is controlled by liberals will revoke it.
Cliff Nellis
It appears the governor has the legal authority to impose a cap only when the legislature isn't in session, so we cannot impose a cap unilaterally at this time.
Kevin Hall
Even if the 50, 40 and 20 percent numbers are adopted, we still have a major fight at the Legislature.
Scott Halty
[Crow] actually agrees with us. Students cannot handle his proposal, but we know the only way we'll be funded is through the state Legislature.
Corinne Widmer
The fact that the governor vetoed it didn't change the fact that the legislature expressed an interest in it.
Gary Strasburg
I have no feel for it at all. This Legislature on the abortion issue is a big question mark.

We needed something done in the Legislature that wasn't getting done.
Tom Sykora
He was asking the citizens to have the gumption that the Legislature and the governor don't have.
Peter Hutchinson
Not the legislature.
Robert Mcgowan
The study was discontinued because there was no additional money appropriated to continue it. What is done with these results is now up to the Legislature.
Wayne Gieselman
Without a change in the constitution, the abuse will just continue - no matter what. We hope the legislature will step up and do something about this. We have to get the ball rolling now.
Bruce Hillis
He understands our political climate. I think it's important we have a man who can work well with the Legislature.
Carolyn Roberts
I think the legislature is going to start to define blight a lot tighter. We may not have that eminent domain ability much longer. I don't know what happens to the Heart of Boynton then.
Marie Horenburger
This is an extremely big deal. We have leadership of the state Legislature and the governor stepping up and really wanting to make a difference on global warming.
Karen Douglas
The Legislature should stop second-guessing the will of the voters.
Eric Draper
If approved by the legislature, this budget will set in stone Governor Bush's environmental legacy.
Eric Draper
The fact that somebody slipped a couple of lines into the budget is something of a fluke. I don't think the majority of the legislature knows that was in there.
