04-09-18 Sen. Garrett Mason
Part 1: Garrett Mason, Gubernatorial Candidate and represents District 22 in the Senate, joins Ray by phone. Ray asks him about the looming deadline and will they get through everything. They give a shout out to Sen. Jeff Timberlake. Of course, Ranked Choice Voting is discussed. They talk about how do you campaign? How will this affect voter turnout? Garrett says that this is an experiment, but Ray says it is more than that. It is a temper tantrum. It is also a free speech issue. Ray gives an example of what he means. Ray goes back to having a public hearing on each bill. There was only one public hearing on a bill and it failed because people found out what was truly inside of it.
Part 2: Garrett and Ray talk about the Gubernatorial Debate that was held. Ray talks about the growth of the State’s General Fund and asks how do we stop this growth.
