However, 345 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:52.160 last Thursday, he guys had quite a day. Both chambers 346 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:58.279 worked past midnight and voted to override forty seven of 347 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.640 the Governor's sixty eight vo We gotn O posted the video. 348 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.400 Called out some Senate members, and then you. 349 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.799 Guys also passed the resolution handing the admissioner amount of health. 350 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:15.400 Other than that, I mean, it was a big day. 351 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.480 Alliterations, you can commissions, all right. Well, since i've heard 352 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:26.000 the senior member Senator to day, we'll start with you 353 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.599 on just give us kind of walk us through what 354 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.839 last Thursday was like. 355 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.000 Okay, first, I'll start by saying, I have not communicated 356 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.799 with either of these gentlemen since Thursday, so I don't 357 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.359 know what was going on in their minds on their 358 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.119 side of rotenda. I'm excited to learn. But I'm gonna 359 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.480 start by saying, this is the best legislative session I 360 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.079 have participated in the best and it is part because 361 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.599 of teamwork from all of us, and I would say 362 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.799 sometimes including the Democrats, and yes, most. 363 00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:58.640 Of the time with our governor on our side. 364 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.640 And so I don't want want the hissy fit that 365 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.000 he threw on Thursday to detract in any way from 366 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.680 what we have accomplished. You know, we did the path 367 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.759 to zero, We did a quarter cent percent tax cut, 368 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.480 We eliminated the three bottom income tax brackets. Everybody's gonna 369 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.240 have more money in their pocket no matter what you make. 370 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.720 We're going to continue on that line. We've passed this 371 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.559 significant lawsuit reform. I can think of at least three 372 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.119 or four things we did that In the entire time 373 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.680 I've been in the legislature, we've been trying to get 374 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.839 back reforms that for the main part that judiciary took 375 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:39.240 away from us over the past few years. Just very 376 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.960 good things were done. And so on Thursday, I don't 377 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.200 know why he vetoed more bills this year than he 378 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.240 ever had before. I don't know why he let a 379 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.599 couple of hundred bills go into effect without his signature, 380 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.680 which means like did you eat them or maybe your 381 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.880 staff random We know that there are bills that they 382 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.160 say they didn't understand, but we are there at the 383 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.079 other end of the line, or buy a text thread 384 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.640 to say here's what my bill meant. Oh, yes, you 385 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.279 want to know why I voted no on that bill 386 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.880 the other day. All these other years they have been 387 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:09.720 in touch with me on a regular basis, but this 388 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.680 year not so much. 389 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:11.319 So. 390 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.839 There was an agreement on Thursday morning, I am told 391 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.079 that he found some bills, he didn't mind if we 392 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.759 overrode the vetos, and everybody left. 393 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:21.240 The room thinking that was cool. 394 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:22.680 There were. 395 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:25.279 Mutterings that we might. 396 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.000 Take issue, take action to remove the Mental Health Commissioner, 397 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.559 and I won't speak too much to that except. 398 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.519 That I believe it was necessary. 399 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:38.039 And so then he did the video over the noon hour, 400 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.640 and then I believe got on a plane and went 401 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.880
