that every article that got them on quickly enough and that because of them and they're going through their weird three day trip that should be that the entire legislature should not be blamed for how to have a group that didn't want to have to go out of a bucket and in the other chamber propped them up that's right the senate have tried the house that their math of both issues remain with all of that to re apportioned congressional district that incumbent's committee have taken a lot of heat because of their delay leader that made the often politically heated profit has proven difficult mike

we have agreement i mean that could be approved by the court before becoming law but kind of public radio and camel wagner and that was just the beginning and lawmakers are rifled through gubernatorial veto like they were checking off a quandary lets the oboe i'd won in both chambers by larger majority house speaker got a bargain because the outline of the ferry your job the advantage that that the code for a debate with the

public interest in mind i have an important detail to report an eye the board of trustees and the kind of public employee retirement if you recall that a pension fund have lost billions on high risk investment the legislature pass the reform to protect the fun of the future but that report laments the government authority in pointing the board members and he objected to that power being taken from her office the governor rick scott then he then pointed a house member telling him he would never get your life that even the right path on the late senator wint winter chairs a special page in the heat of the action demonstrates how misguided the governor and she did the legislature have to override the way of managing

government and become the thirteenth to the executive branch in the end they made a lot of whether they're taking it all to hear you play that i might have got a very good ride the ultimate political you thought you've got there you did feel like if an advantage in a treatment for vetoing have remained fairly convinced them i like that it could very well happen between nineteen fifty seven and nineteen seventy

four hundred thirty seven bill legislature five that were alive and thirty two of them in two years for the thick bill moment happen that have been overturned and the public radio i'm gonna live here now but i think in winter that could have served in the cabinet where the light you're riding through the republican ranks to become the majority leader in that in real life couldn't find more than two thousand acres of wheat soybeans and corn on that the defendant's family for more than five decades this fashion have been a difficult one for crime and taken a lot of credit for that because of infinite delight in addressing the issue five i'm going to run for governor essential for me to watch for the year to

make a decision whether or not they think the government often hear something about the only current making a political mistake that without the legislature have a job here at the point of a political platform on which to run for high office but you can't have political find preventer grieve for that moment that was allegedly jury of a great i'm thinking policy experience because of the increasing public of god with government in general the legislature is no longer the political springboard into what it was it may be right now a great place to move up into a military ranks of the data that we had speaker directly into their ranks in fact kurt have conducted a poll and that random

survey health have thirteen in the legislature will not make the difference in a gubernatorial race moment no think i'd departure will inoculate them a constant criticism aimed at government but currently only senator kay bailout five others have announced retirement anthony and ten could follow and a half more than a dozen will voluntarily leave senator wint winter a ten year veteran and father of three school age daughters that he can no longer valid that the increasing demand that the legislature think of crystal light one family your

family here the one time that hamp of a part time job and taking the top members of the fed are being in the legislature have become more time consuming and with little pig that limit the kind of people able to learn about the other hand women know they're the good side of that equation oh we're going to get new people and any legislative body that you really don't need new blood may be in the us house of representatives i had pecans and it can definitely get serious confusion in the next election are one hundred fifty five legislative people are up for grabs this year numbered a community of lawmakers will take on the policy problems in the nineteen ninety three legislative session what kind of public radio and emma wagner at the takeout the argument over the coffin and have remained virtually

unchanged in the january and they began because shelby county district court judge encourage lawmakers to come up with the planet could provide each trying to gather with an equal shot at education well you know what the way at the time and now and they could especially with painkillers weight of schoolchildren that they were they are actually people who might have a very good argument and i feel not

chairman mao republican ron johnson county believe lawmakers read that line by the education debate that they've ignored other areas of the government but do you know how a lot of them at the budget like the welfare package and public school finance plan was resolved and any legislator now billy if they become the overspending will not have the money to fully fund the budget but the opposition to the new school finance plan came from areas considered wealthy jumping county legislator here directly forty five quality of the new planned remove many of them and lead to a wide majority of them all over the oil and gas without representative gene sure my job than any republican that there are going to be a lot of angry people in his

gavan about the democrats believe the windfall money should be bankrolled the bailout that they did cash shortfall next year it's doubtful many of the last minute project will survive a conference committee in fact much of the work during that final hours will be done in committee at how the senate negotiators try to find a common bond and on the budget prevented her shop on the tour is the ranking minority member on the house appropriations committee i think we can it's not clear how much money might be trampled budget area targeted for comparable cuts include higher education the highway five the employee pay plan and if a welfare budget of budget watchers are now playing that card will be nominal one area relatively thank god the fashion in general education campaign the only path school finance bill after budget
