"As you know we are extremely busy with budget matters and I am afraid I do not have time to respond to surveys. I am very supportive of Worker Compensation Laws and will continue to work hard for fairness in our laws, especially injured workers. I look forward to working with you in the upcoming session. I understand how difficult these issues are and would be glad to discuss this with you as we near the 2003 session."
