Thanks, y’all!

NO to HB 900 and NO to the HB 100 sub where they inappropriately (in the dead of night) inserted voucher language. Call them out on their shenanigans – we expect our Representatives to be honest and act with integrity. The Senate Chair Brandon Creighton and the House Chair Brad Buckley have not been above-board and we are watching. 

Thanks, y’all!
