Quotes on Senate Measure 37 gut

Yesterday the Senate voted to gut Measure 37, below are some of the best quotes talking on it from the Senate Republican Press Release:

“Of the over 1,000 words in Measure 37, almost 900 are gone,You can change terms, deadlines and groups affected, but at the end of the day this is still a repeal of Measure 37.”
Senator Roger Beyer

“Everyone knows, House Bill 3540 is poorly drafted, full of unintended consequences and will lead to years of litigation. In pursuit of the American dream, people spent hundreds of thousands of dollars buying property. Government took away their right to develop, so voters twice gave those rights back. Now they have spent even more money getting approved, only to have government say “˜sorry, do it again.’ When will it stop?”
Senator Larry George

“This is more of the same: another attempt to dismantle Measure 37, which voters have twice approved. With Measure 37, voters fixed a broken land use system. House Bill 3540 just gives them a different kind of broken.”
Ted Ferrioli
Senate Republican Leader
