I also welcome the compromise that has been reached. I heard with great interest what other speakers have had to say. I was listening to Senator Byrne quoting from The Merchant of Venice and was reminded of the agreement that Senator Bacik and myself had arrived at. I was wondering how we might shape another quote from a Shakespeare play. To misquote Hamlet, perhaps we have become "a little more than kind, yet still less than kin" in our views on this issue.
