Rep. Drazkowski: Action awaits budget targets
With roughly two weeks remaining in the 2016 legislative session, we are once again in a holding pattern when it comes to the two most significant areas of discussion – tax relief and supplemental transportation funding.
This is because we do not have budget targets.
At this stage of the game, budget targets are determined by the speaker of the House, the Senate majority leader, and the governor. Once these figures are determined, the conference committees assigned to craft compromise tax relief and transportation proposals can get to work.
