"I have been a strong advocate for public safety, and I am celebrating a major win today with SB 268 passing out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. It's hard to vote against victims of rape, but did any other legislator get 80% of their bills held?"

"We let out, I think, some of her top priority bills. She did have a lot of expensive bills because of her former chairmanship in human services. Those bills tend to be more pricey and I think in the budget environment that we're in they are particularly on the chopping block."
