Senator Schaffer said, "It is my sincere desire to represent the wishes of the people of my district in all matters before the General Assembly. This first poll gave me guidance on many of the major issues I had to face in my first legislative session. In all cases, I believe I have followed the clear-cut wishes of my constituents. I shall continue to use the public opinion poll as a method of deter­ mining the needs and wishes of the people of my district and I sincerely thank those who took the time and trouble to fill out the poll and return it to me."
