Cornish isn’t happy either.

“I’m still not in favor,” he said. “It’s one of those compromises you don’t especially like.”

But it does address his concern that the current system creates a hodge-podge of rules from one jurisdiction to the next. It also prevents all of the revenue from administrative penalties from being diverted from the state.

While the compromise was worked out in the House, Cornish and Finn expect the Senate to agree that it’s an appropriate way to end an impasse that has been in place for three or four years — especially since all of the interested groups have reluctantly agreed to support it.
