No brainer — Go to jail, lose you pension
There's a frustration and anger brewing among legislators serving their constituents as members of the minority party.
The Democratic majority has been in charge for more than a decade and have consistently blocked bills originating from their Republican colleagues. I've been tough on the GOP legislators, blaming them for the gas tax and other so-called 'compromises' that serve only to saddle middle and working class with a higher burden.
But the time has come to call out the majority for some of the most undemocratic actions that we've seen in a long time. We had a flurry of legislators calling to express their anger this morning. Anger that simple things like banning corrupt officials who've served prison sentences from collecting taxpayer funded pensions.
Isn't that a no-brainer? Senator Jen Beck joined me to discuss.
