“One of the things that unites us all as a culture, as a country, as a state, is language. And we see more and more people that are moving to the United States.” (spokanepublicradio.org)
“And what used to be the desired effect, which was assimilation — learn the language, learn the culture, learn the history — those things have slipped away. And we don’t see assimilation anymore. And I believe that if we have a common language, then our culture will survive.” (spokanepublicradio.org)
“The constitution trumps all things, so I would believe that our state laws would have to conform to what our constitution says,.” (spokanepublicradio.org)
