It’s likely you will end up voting on a marijuana legalization bill at some point in the near future, if you vote No, and the bill passes into law, does that mean you would also be against your district receiving any of the anticipated taxes generated from that initiative?
Have you rolled your eyes yet at some of the bills being proposed? Has anyone rolled their eyes at a bill you’ve proposed?
Do you feel that you truly understand all 5 pension systems and their calculations for the two tiers? Do you recognize that state employees are also taxpayers?
Name one challenging yet realistic thing you want to help accomplish by the end of the spring session. My likely follow up: with whom do you need to work effectively get this done?
Tell me one principle you hold so strongly that you’ll never consider abandoning it? In other words, you might compromise on anything except __________ ?
