“Our obstacles are the lack, at times, of the majority party to respect and include the minority party in a meaningful manner in public policy discussions. I, as an individual legislator, have found ways to have some meaningful participation in that process and getting members of the other side of the aisle to respect my policy objectives and getting them included in the ultimate product. We need to do that as a caucus.”
