Transcript for: Senator Cherry No Vote Explanation

We are about one month away from an election, a little bit more than one month. I know that today is a day of politics. I think we all know that we have all been through a number of bills which are there specifically for politics. And, yet, as was said earlier by the other Senators, when we rose to object, as we should in this political system, we got cut out. I can’t go further to explain any more than what my colleagues have already explained. But I think it is also important that we all say what really happened here today—a day when we have a political day, getting ready for an election in which we fought for our side, and which we were again punished for that. This is not the first time, as you all know. It is at least the second and maybe even more than that.

I, again, urge my colleagues to have a bipartisan atmosphere in the chamber and to respect each other because as was said earlier, we all do represent 270,000 citizens. We all do have a right to our opinion, and we have a right to our say.
