What the Senate is trying to do would be re-writing our Constitution. There is nothing wrong if the Senate wants a little bit more power, but that should be done in a procedural manner by amending the Constitution to allow it more leverage. I think we gave them too little power in terms of financial management. As it is now, I am in concurrence with the Committee that we reject this proposal. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
