Please take a moment to read this important story. It is a great example of why I’ve been so vocal about the need to do more to prevent fraud and abuse of tax dollars. In addition to the amendments I’ve offered, another option we should look into is a report card indicating each.

I am simply devastated to hear of the passing of Senator Bruce Anderson. I served with him in both the House and Senate and will remember him for his deep faith and conviction and as someone who dedicated his entire life to public service. Bruce was man of few words and when he

I’m grateful the jury delivered justice today. They did the right thing. More importantly, I’m relieved for Carol Mitchell, the victim in this case. She waited far too long for closure. Justice delayed is justice denied. This case should have, and could have, been resolved

Unfortunately, the new state budget is full of misplaced priorities. Instead of providing additional funding for students, this year’s budget included $420 million in projected education cuts (and more than $300 million in special education cuts). And instead of providing
