I never thought I'd live to see the day since I was on policy that we'd have this many people have interest in this, but I appreciate it. I would appreciate a good debate. Great, thank you.

Okay, we have one item on the agenda, and that's the consideration and review of the contract between BLR
and APA. Senator English, Representative Cozart, are you all ready to present?
Representative Bruce Cozart

And you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. As you know, I'm representing Bruce Cozart, Chair of House Education.
And I'd just like to keep this plain and simple, I guess. The Education Committee met Monday and voted to accept the contract of APA, and we'd like to move that on to policy. And we have been going through this process for a little while. This has been a long, drawn out thing. And we'd kind of like to move on and get this into work so we can actually use this on the next go around of adequacy.
So that's kind of where we're at, and be glad

may I say something here? Sure. I am really, really disappointed in this. I have been in this legislature for 10 years. I'm not sure that any contract with the revenue and tax committee,
with public health, with any of these committees, would have undergone the kind of thing that we've seen here. And I am so, I'm really disappointed in this crowd. What, none of, how many of you were even on the education committee? How many of you even could have sat through and listened to the kinds of things we're talking about? I can't tell you how very disappointed I am in this whole process. Thank you, Senator. All right, ma'am.
