Standing with any member who wants a Roll Call vote
Requiring committee votes be published online
Allowing any member access to the "can" so they can review all of the latest changes in legislation
Prohibiting the passage of spending bills in informal session
Require conference committee meetings be open to the press and public
Requiring the Ethics Committee to be bi-partisan
Ending the legislative exemption from the public records law (Constituent work would be exempt for privacy reasons.)
