[r30] Statement from Rep. Karickhoff regarding House Democrats Returning To Work (3/28/2011)

Monday, March 28, 2011

Start Date: 3/28/2011 All Day
End Date: 3/28/2011
"When I was elected I promised to work toward strengthening Indiana. That has been, and will continue to be the focus of this legislative session. Even while the House Democrats refused to show up for work, we continued to work, and have moved forward with public testimony on Senate Bills, as well as Senate Committee hearings on bills we have already passed.

"I'm glad to hear House Democrats have returned, but it should not be celebrated. I have shown up for everyday of session since we started in January. I have been working for the constituents in my district. During the month long Democrat walkout, I continued to show up for work and do the legislative responsibilities given to me by the voters of Indiana. Their return to their legislative duty will do nothing to change my goals for this session of passing a balanced budget without raising taxes and helping create jobs."
