I admire Mr. Gaffney for his strength and I envy him for his family and the people he has around him. I admire him because when an injustice happens, it should be automatically corrected so it does not happen again to somebody else, whereas here it is seems to be pushed under the carpet. Nobody is taking responsibility. Everybody is trying to find a technical way of getting out of it, such as “It is too short” or “It is not written in legislation”. However, those things can be changed. That is what we do as legislators.
