Each of the following votes were appropriations bills to fund various state agencies for the upcoming fiscal year. One repeated concern that I hear from constituents is that our government is too big. While I appreciate the efforts of our leadership to craft these appropriations using a limited budget, our government is too large. We should practice the conservative principle of limited government by decreasing the tax dollars that are spent on these dozens of agencies and regulatory boards. For these reasons, I voted against state government spending bills. Below I’ve listed each appropriation bill along with the agency receiving tax dollars, and the vote totals.
