Priority Issues:

Ending the bundling of amendments

Standing with any member who wants a Roll Call vote

Requiring committee votes be published online

Allowing any member access to the "can" so they can review all of the latest changes in legislation

Prohibiting the passage of spending bills in informal session

Require conference committee meetings be open to the press and public

Requiring the Ethics Committee to be bi-partisan

Ending the legislative exemption from the public records law (Constituent work would be exempt for privacy reasons.)
