16:29Now PlayingSenate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka announced Wednesday, February 13, the Senate Republican budget priorities for the 2020-2021 biennium. Taking care of people, protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and being transparent in budget decisions led the list.
According to Gazelka, taking care of people will be their caucus's first principle, which includes kids in childcare, students, veterans and seniors in the nursing home, he explained.
Because the state has an anticipated surplus and a rainy day fund, the Senate Republicans will not seek tax increases. As a result, Senate Republicans will not support a hike in the gas tax or continuing the health care provider tax.
A third priority is to control state government spending, Gazelka said, and a fourth priority is to ensure that budget decisions are made in a transparent, timely manner.
