Commentary: Issues for the Legislature to consider in 2019

Related Topics: Legislature

As I said last year, I appreciate you for being willing to serve as a legislator. I understand the amount of time you have to give to do your job effectively, how much pressure you experience from special interests, how much personal time and privacy you have to give up. So I wish you good luck as you enter this session.

Below are some of the issues I feel are important, not much different than in previous years.

Issue 1: Partisanship. I hope you put the needs of the state ahead of politics in your decisions and balance the needs of the public with the needs of private interests.
