It is clear after today anyone still supporting legislation to dissolve the Second Injury Fund is not acting in the best interests of small businesses.

In my opinion, it was probably the worst case of legislation and bad acting I've seen in 20 years. It was lawmakers literally disregarding the legislation before them. I'm extremely disappointed.

Today I am not going to get into the specifics of the legislation.

We waited for the legislation to be approved as per the contract negotiations with the Uniformed Firefighters Association.

It is easy to understand how money works against consumers' interests in politics by considering that the COOL legislation made it through Congress with a strong show of support a few years ago, only to be corralled by a strong industry lobbying effort capped by a cornucopia of campaign cash.
