Upon reopening the bill this morning, many legislators noted substantial changes to the prior reading a few hours before. Without a return to conference, the bill had added provisions for ratchet triggers on taxes, cleanup of voucher issuances and other changes.
Sen Holland (D-Baldwin City), took to the floor to demand to know what happened "this is not the same", he argued, asking senators to come forward who had proposed the changes "I want to know who proposed these changes.. Will anyone take credit?"...
Sen Holland took over and noted if no one knew who changed the bill between 130am and 10am, were special interests involved? The senator noted his belief that the state chaplain was a good man and "I believe he has more work to do. I call on the chaplain to exorcise ALEC who is infecting this chamber"
Senator Tye Masterson (R), responded "I haven't heard from ALEC. I don't know the Koch brothers. It's all conspiracies and not true. I favor this bill to represent our interest."

(1,301 posts)1. Sounds to me like the good senator has a sense of humor.
...and was calling it like he saw it.

Well played indeed.
Got the spontaneous denial from the R. I bet he was sputtering when he replied.

to remove Brownback.
