Welcome to

While the Governor and Cabinet came out with new processes today for future firings and hirings at agencies they supervise. But they did not agree or order an investigation into whether the open meetings law was violated when aides talked behind the scenes. House Democratic Leader Mark Pafford says lawmakers may have to step in to get to the bottom of how the state’s top law enforcement official was fired.

“You know we do have the ability to subpoena, we do have the ability to hold hearing and take testimony. I suspect more pressure would be on the legislature if the Cabinet doesn’t want to take corrective action and begin that process today” says Pafford.

Pafford says he has talked with Republican House Speaker Steve Cristifulli and says the Speaker is aware of his responsibilities but gave no indication if he was willing to hold hearings.
