Explanation of Vote:
MR. SPEAKER: The Aurand amendment, which is now a part of this bill, included the
words ‘‘tax,'' ‘‘taxable,'' and ‘‘taxpayer'' 38 times in its brief four pages. Despite how innocuous you believe this amendment might be, when policymakers across the United States map each state, Kansas will be shown as the first state to pass a carbon tax. A recognition of carbon's deleterious effects should not be lightly considered, and we would do well to have hearings on such a major policy shift. I vote ‘‘no'' on SB 471.

Explanation of Vote
MR. SPEAKER: Congress passed the Temporary Aid to Needy Families program to assist those in our society who are of low income. HB 2920 uses those funds to provide subsidies regardless of income or means.

Explanation of Vote
MR. SPEAKER: It is time the House begins addressing some of the critical issues facing our constituents. As we approach half way through our session we have not talked about health care, minimum wage, immigration, or tax relief for fixed income seniors. Instead, we spend our time naming highways and issuing commemorative license plates.
Someone needs to say enough is enough and demand we get down to business.

Explanation of Vote: MR. SPEAKER: War on terrorism is a policy statement rather than a single act of war. We shouldn't be placing policy statements as designated names on any state properties. I have tremendous respect for brave men and women who serve our great country and would be honored to recognize them with a designation that is more specific to actions of war as result of attacks of September 11, 2001. The mention of terrorism gives recognition to terrorists rather than brave defenders of freedom. Thank you to the United States veterans of all wars and conflicts. I vote no on HB 2071.
