Speaker Vos on retirement, Pedestrian safety, ‘Mythspeaker’ author
Q: How might the legislature respond if no deal is reached with the Governor?
If a deal cannot be reached to return the surplus and fund schools, the assembly may not reconvene, but they are prepared to return for a special session if a deal materializes.
Speaker Vos on retirement, Pedestrian safety, ‘Mythspeaker’ author
Q: What is the plan for the budget surplus and property tax relief?
The plan involves a one-time rebate and targeted funding for schools, aiming to return money to taxpayers while maintaining support for education, with flexibility on permanent solutions versus one-time measures.
Speaker Vos on retirement, Pedestrian safety, ‘Mythspeaker’ author
Q: Why retire now?
Vos explains that after a long tenure and a recent recall challenge, he feels it's the right time to pass the baton, enjoy more personal time, travel, and allow others to have a turn, while acknowledging the state's positive momentum and his record of compromise.
Online sports betting, Supreme Court candidate interviews, Shipwreck hunting
Q: What is the main concern about an open market vs. a tribal monopoly in online wagering?
Joe Maloney contends for an open, competitive market, arguing the process should be transparent, voters should have a say, and competition will improve pricing and innovation while ensuring consumer protections.
Online sports betting, Supreme Court candidate interviews, Shipwreck hunting
Q: Why should lawmakers support the online sports betting bill?
Nicole Boyd explains bipartisan support, safety protections, and the idea that tribal gaming would ensure consumer protections and bring revenue to tribes and communities; the proposed framework is designed to be a win-win for everyone.
