LA House Republicans

Smaller Government + Lower Taxes = More Freedom

@WaltLeger @elizabethcrisp You’re right. It was HB1 and not HB10. Should have said package instead of bill. But thanks for acknowledging our general point.

@elizabethcrisp @LAHouseGOP This statement is inaccurate...no one tried to amend Rep. Davis’ bill yesterday...the suggested amendment was to HB 1 & would have put “below the line” items back the way they were in HB 1 of the 2nd special session

.@lahousegop is not happy about Senate Finance amendment to HB1 today. Senate could vote to remove when it hits the floor tomorrow, otherwise could force into conference if they can't get 53 votes to concur in House. #lalege #lagov

@JayJaymorris3’s bill fails 5-12. That concludes today’s W&M Committee meeting. #lalege

@JayJaymorris3’s HB 12 is up next. It keeps existing lifting of exemptions in place. It would raise $173 million. #lalege

@WaltLeger’s HB 8, another .5 renewal, had been voluntarily deferred. #lalege

Rep. Leopold’s bill has been involuntarily deferred. #lalege

Rep. Leopold’s HB 11, another .5 cent renewal, is before the W&M Committee. #lalege

Rep. R. Johnson, head of @LAHouseDems objects to @RepPaulaDavis’s compromise bill. Democrats near unanimous in objection; bill still passes from committee 12-5. #lalege

This bill is co-sponsored by House Speaker Taylor Barras. @RepPaulaDavis calls it an effort to meet in the middle between the 0.33 and 0.5 bills that failed last session. #lalege #lagov twitter.com/MelindaDeslatt…

Davis says her bill is like Harris (.33) and Leger (.5) bills from last special session except it's at .4: "I think this is a great compromise." #lalege #lagov twitter.com/elizabethcrisp…
