Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — Oct. 10, 2019 (21:54)

Yeah, so Mr. Chairman, I hate to be strong armed or whatever. But I think it's time that we subpoenaed this person and got him in here and let him explain to us that we are serious about what we're doing. So I would move that we do that

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — Oct. 10, 2019 (20:39)

point do we subpoena these people to show up? That would be at

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — Oct. 10, 2019 (20:47)

going to have to do this until they realize that we're serious about this? They've missed three times. Is it? May, June, September, this is the

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — Nov. 7, 2019 (52:03)

it'll be 135 years in case you're wondering.

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — Nov. 7, 2019 (51:36)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Redis, was it you say that the general fund owes the street fund $163,000 or something like that? Yes, sir. What year is that going to be paid back? However much $100 a month takes until

Public Transportation (House) — Jan. 19, 2021 (3:31)

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (23:00)

I'm older today than I've ever been before, and sometimes it shows and sometimes it's pretty good. uh like i said in my opening statement madam chairman the uh this bill does not address the makeup of the plant board that's a different discussion for a different time what this does it addresses the problem that we have uh and i would appreciate y'all passing this out and remember that sometimes wet band-aids do stick

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (22:56)

close for your bill, Representative? Representative, thank you for noticing I have trouble getting up.

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (2:42)

the Attorney General's office has said that they can defend this one as constitutional. The bill that you proposed? Yes. Okay. All

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (2:29)

at the Supreme Court. Well, to answer the take on it, anybody can sue anytime they want to. If they don't like the way it's done, they have the authority and the ability to sue. But as far as fixing the problem that's over at the Supreme Court right now,

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (1:39)

And I think this will fix the problem if it turns out that we need to have a fix for it. There's been a lot of discussion about the plant board and the makeup of the plant board lately. But that is not contained in this bill. It doesn't change anything about who serves on the plant board or why. and I'll be glad to take any questions. Representative Lynch, you're

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (1:06)

against the state on it I think this bill fixes that process and and what it does you've had it before you there to look at it gives the governor the authority to appoint people to the state plant board these organizations that have normally been electing people that board shall submit two names to the governor and from those two he will appoint his choice of those two that's It's not dissimilar to other boards and committees that we have in the state.

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (0:33)

board and how they're appointed and who serves the little bit of background on it is the state plant boards 104 years old they have I think it's nine representatives that are elected by different organizations throughout the state that have an interest in in the things the plant board might do there has been a lawsuit that has been filed in this currently before the state supreme court that says that is not legal so the supreme court has not ruled but in case they do rule

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (House) — Feb. 1, 2021 (0:26)

Public Transportation (House) — Feb. 2, 2021 (17:50)

I'm going to vote for the bill. I do pass on the bill. But I feel like that that is a weakness in the bill that you might consider at some time in the future, making it more plain that it has to be a recognized religion or a letter from a bishop or something like that. Colonel, you're

Public Transportation (House) — Feb. 2, 2021 (17:47)

Could I have a follow-up, please? Follow-up.

Public Transportation (House) — Feb. 2, 2021 (16:13)

but if I was a member of no religious organization and I went up to the, said I want an ID and I have a deeply held religious belief against having my picture on anything the government owns, would I be eligible to get that? Well, I don't know exactly

Public Transportation (House) — Feb. 2, 2021 (15:55)

Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Hawke, the problem that I have with the bill is the deeply held religious belief thing. And I think it needs a better definition than that because me as an individual, I remember, I mean, I'm a Baptist,

Public Transportation (House) — Feb. 2, 2021 (1:51)

Thank you. Thank you, committee. I may file
