For Immediate
Release: May 5, 2004
Tort Reform Committee Co-Chairs Say Final Bill Will
Be Written in Public
COMMENT BY SENATOR MIKE MORGAN, D-STILLWATER
“What part of open doesn’t the minority party
leadership understand? Weeks ago, I communicated to my Republican
colleagues our intentions that this final version of the
bill would be written by the committee in public. I guess
they’d rather put out a press release than take ‘yes’
for an answer.”
COMMENT BY REPRESENTATIVE JARI ASKINS,
D-DUNCAN
“Republicans need to board the train rather than trying
to derail it. Participants have been extremely complimentary
of the process. The majority of the criticisms have come
from Republicans who have yet to participate. We’re
on schedule to complete this legislation in time for an
orderly adjournment.”
