I became the first legislator to post my expenses online. That, you know, earned me some ire inside the Capitol dome, but the public certainly appreciated it. Helped rewrite the state's open record law, helped make sure that the legislature was more open and accountable to the people of the state. but also passed the largest alternative energy bill in Pennsylvania history during my first term. And further, further actions led to banning texting while driving, which is probably the thing I was most actually known for as a legislator. (21:08–21:15)
