Dems push open records resolution
Dems have introduced a resolution they say would reaffirm the Assembly's commitment to open records following an outcry over an overhaul of the statutes that Joint Finance put into the budget, but was pulled out.
The resolution would require Assembly Org to meet following adjournment today to consider a resolution affirming the chamber's commitment to open record and government laws.
Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said the resolution was just politics and typical of Dems, saying it amounts to asking Assembly Org to meet to talk about something without requiring any real action. Instead, he suggested both sides to join together in expressing their commitment to open records.
But Rep. Andy Jorgensen, D-Milton if affirming a commitment to open government is playing politics, then "guilty as charged." He said the package raises questions if Republicans are trying to hide something unethical or illegal.
