We have finally wrapped up the Charter School Bill, and thanks to the good work of Sen. Courson, Sen. Hayes, and the resistance of our Caucus some of the previous “miscommunications” have been removed.
On another front, I was proud to join some of my colleagues and the Governor in a press conference to announce the introduction of the Taxpayers’ Empowerment Amendment. This legislation will allow voters to decide in November whether they want government spending capped at the rate of population growth plus inflation. I will bring you more details on this legislation in the coming weeks as it moves through the Senate. Below is a link to the full text of this resolution:

I look forward to hearing from you on this and any other matter. Keep in touch.
