Credit Card Spending

Rep. Fitzgerald said that Republicans have an offer on the table to fund K-12 education, and talking about stewardship when kids are returning to school in a couple weeks "doesn't seem relevant."

"It's time to really start focusing on matters at hand here," Fitzgerald said.

He said the plan from the governor and Senate gives $1 billion in bonding authority to the administration with no legislative oversight. He said called the plan to purchase more state land "more credit card spending."

"I don't know how as a legislator you can ... give bureaucrats a billion dollar blank check and just hand it over with no oversight," Fitzgerald said.
