I'm going to call the meeting back to order.
On November 29 I reminded the committee that we would keep the clock running through that time if we needed to discuss these things.
I did not make a ruling; I made a comment. It was a comment related to decorum, which is also my right and my responsibility as a chairperson to ensure that we have decorum in the committee. Decorum includes the way we treat our public officials who appear before us to present evidence.
