There are several practices in the Tennessee General Assembly that allow legislators to act without the transparency that engaged voters have asked for time and again.
With the continuing use of voice votes in House subcommittees and committees, voters are often left to wonder how the Representatives they elected are voting on important issues.
With last minute amendments being made to legislation and the continuing usage of deceptive captions bills, constituents are often left in the dark until it’s too late to act.
Today, I am joined by Tori Venable, Tennessee Director of Americans for Prosperity.
Tori is here to speak on the lack of transparency in Nashville and what can be done to better serve the electorate.
Tori also addresses the “taxpayer-funded” lobbying that has a significant negative influence of lawmakers and the lack of rules against family members of elected officials lobbying the legislature.
All this and more makes for an eye-opening interview you do not want to miss!
