It is a new day in the building here. Things are going very smooth. And we’re going to work together with the House and the Governor to get as much of the people’s business done as we can.Somebody get a shovel.
Sen. Stedman still refuses to hear SB 25 (it’s hung up in his committee), a bill that calls for a long-term financial plan to be made to the legislature each year. There is a comparable idea in the House (HB 125), though it's not the same. The Senate bill went through State Affairs already, getting a nod of approval from Sen. McGuire. Sen. Green, Sen. French, and Sen. Stevens signed no recommendation.
Why would Sen. Stedman hold up this common sense bill? He is on the leash of Sen. Green and her Bipolar Non-Working Group, and SB 25 is sponsored by someone in the minority. So much for the new tone. Sen. Stedman, you know this bill is good for Alaska. Are you so afraid of Lyda that you won’t pass a bill through your own committee that you know is good? Grow a pair.
Kudos to Sen. McGuire for having the balls to do what Sen. Stedman cannot.
