UPFRONT: Senate’s Final Day

Published | Video Starts at 02:11

Senator, like always, good to see you. Yeah, thanks for having me. Let's start with these tax relief negotiations. I guess bring me inside where Senate Republicans are at this moment. Senate Republicans have been from the beginning advocating we want something really simple. We want to get the money back to the people who paid the taxes in. So we just proposed $1,000 rebate per person per taxpayer. So that's what we want to stick with. Clearly, the governor is trying to get us to negotiate with him and he's on the exact opposite side where he doesn't want to give any type of rebate. (02:11–02:25)
