“I think it's really bad precedence to deny an assembly member the ability to have their legislation at least heard and discussed, whether you agree with it or not. I'd like to hear all of the details and the arguments on any piece of legislation. And I just think it's terrible that you just take somebody's work and flush it down the toilet because you don't like it.”

From the transcript
And the other thing is, you know, I think it's really bad precedence to deny an assembly member the ability to have their legislation at least heard and discussed, whether you agree with it or not. I'd like to hear all of the details and the arguments on any piece of legislation. And I just think it's terrible that you just take somebody's work and flush it down the toilet because you don't like it. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Morning comments, Assemblyman Fono.
