These freely elected presidents came to us and said, 'Help us,' ... We help them by voting yes on CAFTA.

I'm hoping there will be some voting repercussions. The (county) commissioners really let us down. (Commissioners) Steve Stuart and Marc Boldt gave us verbal agreement that they would do anything they could to keep the clinic from opening.

Weld looked at our two-year-old program and wanted us to help him find a horse that could be fast and run early in Ireland , like we do here.

I plan on voting against tabling this. I think we ought to move on and vote up or down on it. Or, somebody needs to come up with an alternative, but I'm not going to keep focusing on this issue.

If he's voting on bills that he has a direct financial stake in, I don't think you can find a clearer conflict of interest than that. I don't think you're going to find a clearer case of somebody voting their own pocketbook.

I wanted to make sure and verify that everyone knew what they were voting on, that there was no misinformation out there about the changes.
