"Home Rule was a difficult sell, believe it or not there are organizations, individuals and some legislators who want to keep power concentrated in Montgomery.  That we were able to craft the most basic Home Rule bill, and pass it, is something of a miracle.  Now that you have this legislation, USE IT and USE IT WISELY!" Late Rep. Jack Venable
