2) Sen. Cropsey's "journal statement" by Admin003 on May 11, 2006 Senator Cropsey's statement is as follows:
I just wanted to remark that on a couple of the previous bills, Senate Bill Nos. 717 and 718, Senators Toy and Gilbert worked diligently on those. On this bill, Senate Bill No.1122, which is the last bill of this package, this is your bill, Mr.President, that you sponsored, and I just wanted to thank you because I believe it was about two years ago you had approached me on the GPS tethers for people who get out on parole. Your persistence has paid off. I think this will help make the people of this state safer. There is funding in our Corrections budget as we pass that through the Senate here for the tether program. I just wanted to thank you for your persistence, for your background and knowing how these people operate, and for your persistence in seeing this through.
