Also, the Senate has released its operating- and capital-budget proposals for this budget cycle — here’s what they mean for our district and state.
Sen. Ron Muzzall talks to KTTH Radio’s Jason Rantz about legislation that would give youth-related facilities a troubling new excuse for withholding the whereabouts of runaway children from their parents.
Republican Sen. Lynda Wilson said the ruling surprised her. “Every other state in the union and the IRS still calls it (capital gains) an income tax,” said Wilson.
Sen. John Braun talks with KONA Radio’s The Bottom Line about the State Supreme Court’s capital-gains ruling, the proposed Senate budget, police pursuits, and emergency powers.
The Senate Republican budget leader has a warning for taxpayers after the State Supreme Court backed a capital-gains income tax, but she’s also applauding a proposed state budget from Senate Democrats because of no new taxes and investments in things like public safety and education.

The Senate Republican budget leader has a warning for taxpayers after the State Supreme Court backed a capital-gains income tax.
Tracy Ellis reports.
The Senate released its capital and operating budget proposals this week. Several things in those proposals apply to Republican priorities. This includes money for a training commission for law enforcement, a record amount of money for housing, millions for school construction, $70 million to help make up our students’ learning loss, and $800 million over four years to help kids in special education programs.
Sen. Chris Gildon comments on the two-year $69.2 billion operating budget, which includes $5.1 billion in new spending on education, housing, behavioral health, public safety, and climate change.
