I am stating for the record my opposition to the proposed amendment. To date, the First Steps Program has only utilized $3 million of the previously appropriated $20 million state dollars. Together with private donations, the First Steps Program currently has roughly $26 million and with a new appropriation the total would be $46 million. With so many important programs and so few available dollars, I cannot vote for any additional money to go to a program that has not fully utilized existing funds.

Rep. COBB-HUNTER continued speaking.
Rep. QUINN spoke against the amendment.
Rep. QUINN raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 228 was out of order under Rule 5.3 B in that the amendment had the effect of appropriating funds in excess of ten million dollars and therefore should include corresponding appropriation reductions and/or revenue increases.
Rep. COBB-HUNTER argued that the totals in the columns representing state funds were not in excess of ten million dollars.
Rep. W. MCLEOD argued that column 6 related exclusively to state funding and column 5 was simply a projection of federal matching funds added to state funding.
Rep. NEAL argued that Rule 5.3 applied to the totals in column 6, which reflected state funding.
Rep. SHEHEEN stated that under Rule 5.3 D (4) the appropriation act must include total funds approved for the next fiscal year and a listing of appropriations from the General Fund.
SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE HASKINS cited a precedent in the case of Walker vs. Durham (1901) which states that to appropriate money is to set it apart, to designate sums for a particular purpose or individual. He stated that based upon Rule 5.3 A, appropriations for the purposes of the General Appropriation Bill are defined as state funding only and that the total state funds appropriated in the amendment was less than ten million dollars. He therefore overruled the Point of Order.
Rep. QUINN moved to table the amendment.

So, the amendment was tabled.
I voted against Amendment No. 507 which allocated more dollars to Health and Human Services for several reasons. First, last fiscal year we appropriated $80 million new dollars to this agency. This year in this budget we almost doubled that and budgeted over $144 million dollars. There currently exists abuse and mismanagement at the Department of Health and Human Services. This budget also directed them how to spend funds and erradicate medicaid fraud. There are many request and needs throughout the State for funding. Neither of these amendments stated where the additional money would have come from and put the budget out of balance. This is not conservative fiscal policy. Earlier in the debate I proposed an amendment to increase medicaid funding to senior citizens which was defeated. I am not

So, the amendment was tabled.
I voted against Amendment No. 573 which allocated more dollars to Health and Human Services for several reasons. First, last fiscal year we appropriated $80 million new dollars to this agency. This year in this budget we almost doubled that and budgeted over $144 million dollars. There currently exists abuse and mismanagement at the Department of Health and Human Services. This budget also directed them how to spend funds and erradicate medicaid fraud. There are many request and needs throughout the State for funding. Neither of

Rep. GOVAN explained the amendment.
Rep. RICE raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 574 was out of order under Rule 5.3 B in that it had the effect of appropriating funds in excess of ten million dollars and should include corresponding appropriation reductions and/or revenue increases.
Rep. GOVAN argued contra.

Section 8 was adopted.
I voted against Amendments No. 271, 400, 401 and 410 which allocated more dollars to Health and Human Services for several reasons. First, last fiscal year we appropriated $80 million new dollars to this agency. This year in this budget we almost doubled that and budgeted over $144 million dollars. There currently exists abuse and mismanagement at the Department of Health and Human Services. This budget also directed them how to spend funds and erradicate medicaid fraud. There are many request and needs throughout the State for funding. Neither of these amendments stated where the additional money would have come from and put the budget out of balance. This is not conservative fiscal policy. Earlier in the debate I proposed an amendment to increase medicaid funding to senior citizens which was defeated. I am not against health care for rural areas or seniors. It simply has to be allocated in a conservative fiscal manner.
