Chancellor Martin statement on state Senate action

Chancellor Martin released the following statement Wednesday evening:

“It is a sad day when polarization leads to a breakdown in the political process of the sort we are witnessing in the state and the nation. There is so little integration of ideas, so little synthesis of different strands of thought, so little openness to different points of view. It is hard to watch politics devolve to such a degree that compromise between parties seems a thing of the past.”
