“The people, just the politicians, the lawmakers just don't want to have to be the ones to say we're raising your taxes. Yeah, I think it's even more than that. Given the gerrymander, We have a $4 billion plus surplus, as in billion. We have opportunity to make necessary investments in those matters like child care, like our schools, like our universities, etc. But it has been held hostage by this legislature, particularly by the Joint Finance Committee where my opponent Dewey Strobel was a co chair.” (10:11–10:18)
