Lawmakers Prepare For House Floor Debate

One lawmaker says he’s ready to camp out and get the job of managing taxpayer’s dollars done while another decried political leaders for guiding followers away from compromise in a sign that elected officials are growing disillusioned with how they’re handling the taxpayers’ money. 
 
During floor debate Thursday Democratic Representative Ken Dunkin presented a sleeping bag and a lunch box, putting out a challenge to other lawmakers to stay in Springfield and get the job of a balanced budget done. 
 
 
Meanwhile Republican Representative David Harris said the state’s priorities are out of whack.
 
 
It’s been a full seven months of the fiscal year and there’s still no budget in place.
