small counties may be few in number, but I notice they have
very effective voices, as is evidenced by some of
the people in this General Assembly.
I say to you further that our Committee had
before it a proposal that each county which did not
receive a delegate under any reapportionment scheme or
plan would have a non-voting delegate, and I am sad to
say that the representatives from the small county, with
an opportunity to vote for a voice when they didn't have
a voice, voted against that proposal. I regret to tell
you.
So I am not carried away by the idea that we
are deciding here and now whether or not there shall be a
voice. Everyone shall be represented.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gallagher, you have
just a little over a quarter of a minute.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and
Gentlemen of the Committee:
We will rue the day that we decided that we
could not face up to this problem if we don't set the
number. I urge you to vote against the amendment. |
