<p class="x_MsoNormal">I need to first say I am sorry, but I must step back from my roll as Legislative Co-Chair for a little bit, I have some issues I need to address here at home, and I do not have the horsepower to do both at this time. Hopefully, it will
not be too long, and you will allow me to come back. I have spoken to Maureen, and she is going to be taking over for me in the interim. </p>
