I support the idea. I know that my county is one of the beneficiaries of those grants and it is also waiting for the budget to pass through; for us to finish with the Division of Revenue Bill and go to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and finally go to the schedules of disbursement so that they receive the money.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to assure Members that there was no intention to make anybody angry. We are all here to serve our people with the same interests.

I would like to urge the committee that is going to handle this particular matter to understand that the feeling that I see in the Senator, you can see it on his face, is nothing compared to the feelings on the ground.
