I also thank Sen. Omogeni for being diligent and ensuring that the rights of counties and the role of the Senate are protected. We do not take it for granted. I thank him for doing a good job. If we do not legislate, we will all go home. Sen. Omogeni, given that you are a Senior Counsel and an expert in law, you should sponsor a Bill. However, there is another Bill that is in the Committee on Finance and Budget that was also considering this. We must fast-track it as well. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."}
