<p>The session is under way!</p>
<p>So far we&#8217;ve advanced a bill to cut state aid to cities, counties and NRDs.   This was an important &#8220;test vote&#8221; for those of us who want to cut spending to balance our budget, rather than raise taxes.  The bill advanced with enough votes to break a filibuster&#8211; a good sign.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve introduced several bills this session on a variety of topics&#8211; from protecting the privacy of those injured in accidents, to ending the never-ending appeals process in criminal cases, to reforming our bizarre campaign finance laws, to reforming the CIR&#8211; the list goes on.  We&#8217;ll see how they all work out.</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest and support!</p>
