SENATOR TAYLOR returned SB 58 (PHASE OUT LONGEVITY BONUS) to                 
  committee and explained the provisions of the bill.                          
                                                                               
  SENATOR HALFORD said it was not an easy solution.                            
                                                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR LITTLE said her district was split on the issue, and                 
  she was having difficulty in making her decision.                            
                                                                               
  Number 254                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR JACKO indicated  he had a  similar situation in  his                 
  district.  There was a short discussion on  this fifty/fifty                 
  split  in everyone's district on the phase-out of the bonus,                 
  and  SENATOR  TAYLOR decided  to  send  the bill  on  to the                 
  Finance Committee.                                                           
                                                                               
  SENATOR JACKO move to pass SENATE BILL NO. 58 from committee                 
  with  individual recommendations.    Without objections,  so                 
  ordered.
