Transcript

This is a transcript of the video clips in which this bill is discussed.

REHABILITATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES. THE SENATOR FROM SPOTSYLVANIA, SENATOR REEVES.

Sen. Bryce Reeves (R-Spotsylvania): LOOKS LIKE I AM POPULAR TODAY, MR. PRESIDENT. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO A BILL THE JUNIOR SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA BEACH CARRIED THAT WE HEARD ABOUT, ABOUT THE NEW LIFESTYLE CENTERS, AND THEY ARE PRETTY TAILORED INTO I THINK IT WAS THE 25-ACRE, IF MEMORY SERVES, FACILITY, TO ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK AROUND AND SHOP AND ENJOY THEIR LIBATIONS. THAT'S THE BILL, MR. PRESIDENT.

[Unknown]: THANK YOU, SENATOR. THE QUESTION IS, SHALL HOUSE BILL RECORD THEIR VOTES AYE, OPPOSED NO. VOTE? HAVE ALL THE SENATORS VOTED? TO CHANGE THEIR VOTE? DO ANY OF THE SENATORS DESIRE THE CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLL.

Sen. Bryce Reeves (R-Spotsylvania): AYES 30, NO'S 9.

[Unknown]: AYES 30, NO'S 9, THE BILL PASSES. HOUSE BILL 2002, A BILL RELATING TO REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT RESETTLEMENTS, ANNUAL REPORT. REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE FOR -- SORRY. REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE ON REHABILITATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES. SENATOR FROM SPOTSYLVANIA. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. ASK THAT THE BILL PASS, AND SPEAKING TO THE BILL. SENATOR HAS THE FLOOR. SO LET ME JUST BE REALLY CANDID WITH EVERYBODY IN HERE. THIS BILL IS NARROWLY DEFINED I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF POLITICAL UPROAR WITH REGARD TO IMMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION STATUS, BUT REALLY, THIS BILL IS DESIGNED TO FIX A SITUATION THAT WE HAVE IN THE COMMONWEALTH, AND I AM GOING TO SPEAK FOR MY OWN DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY. THE CITY WHERE I LIVE IS A DESTINATION POINT FOR IMMIGRANT RELOCATION. AND WHEN YOU TALK TO OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS, THEY ARE
MR. SPEAKER, IF BOTHERS ME THAT WE HAVE -- IT BOTHERS ME THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO DEFEND THE EDUCATION ESTABLISHMENT IN THE FACE OF CHILDREN WHO NEED US MUCH MORE. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS FOR SOME OF US, WE CARE MORE ABOUT PEOPLE THAN WE DO ABOUT INSTITUTIONS. I'M ONE OF THOSE FOLKS. THE BO DOM LINE IS WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO USE ACCESS TO EDUCATION AS PUNISHMENT. BUT THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. THINK ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE WE ALL OVER HERE LIKE TO CALL OURSELVES FISCAL CONSERVATIVES.
