| Message | Mr Speaker, The CIL thought it had made a deal with the DPA regarding education and that it would accept government loans and tuition if education was left to local governments, Obviously this is a direct breach of our agreement. We urge all parties to vote no so that no further agreements between our parties are broken. I yield. |
