One last issue I have decided to address during this upcoming session is a long-term fix for transportation funding, particularly for local roadways. Last session I started working toward some transportation legislation including a bill to distribute information of hit and run assailants to the public on roadway signs. Another bill allowed for more local control in deciding when roundabouts are placed into communities rather than the decision being solely that of the Department of Transportation.
During the State budget, I fought to allocate more funding for local transportation and to improve local infrastructure.
