I also voted "no" against House Bill No. 5468, the DARTA bill because the amendment that was slapped on that
would have prevented my constituents from the ability to have an election in November 2004.

Senator Smith's statement, in which Senator Scott concurred, is as follows:
I voted "no" on the DARTA bill not because I objected to the provisions of a regional transportation authority and
the goals that it hoped to achieve, but because we had a reprehensible amendment attached to that bill that made it
impossible for me to support it.

Senator Young's statement, in which Senator Scott concurred, is as follows:
It’s obvious that the traditional approach in solving problems to not solving problems at all. We had a piece of
legislation of which many of us had been fighting for mass transportation for the poor, for the disabled, and for those
for many, many, many years. In an effort to get that legislation was to amend it again not only give those people an
opportunity to have mass transportation to find employment away from their home, but it was used as a way of taking
away the ability of those to elect their own school board members to be empowered and to be in trust stakeholders in
a public system. Now what we are trying to create is system by which people will not really have true mass
transportation because, obviously, those from the outside want to continue to manipulate that as an indication of the
amendment that takes away forever, the right of people to be true stakeholders; to be true missionaries; and to be true
individuals for their own piece of legislation and for their children's education. For that reason, I voted "no."
