John,
Did you see Governor Stitt's latest? Turns out, a judge dismissed his baseless lawsuit against ClassWallet, the company that Stitt spent the last two years blaming for his administration's brazen mismanagement of public education dollars during COVID.
This is just one example of a larger problem.
๐ธ Senator Markwayne Mullin has seen his investments skyrocket this year, using his position as your Senator to get richer. So much for his term limits pledge.
๐ธ Our board that recommends raises for state legislators and state department heads? In a shady meeting full of secrecy, they tried to double the State Superintendent's salary and give 15%ย more a year to legislators. Turns out House Speaker Hilbert illegally allowed a registered lobbyist to vote for the raises and eventually had to redo the whole process.
๐ธ It's not only that, all seven Republicans in our federal delegation are worth more than a million dollars, and have all seen a dramatic increase in their net worth since taking a job as your representative or senator.
Are you seeing the pattern, John?
