Olivia Lupia of The Tennessee Conservative interviews State Representative Monty Fritts, who is also running for governor, discussing upcoming bills and his legislative priorities for the session. The bill filing deadline was extended to February 3rd at 3:00 p.m..Key topics and bills discussed include:Grocery Sales Tax Bill: Representative Fritts is running a bill that would remove the 4% state sales tax on items that qualify for WIC. He notes that this is the same bill he carried a couple of years ago and it removes the burden from grocers by not requiring them to reprogram anything. The intent is that all Tennessee citizens would benefit from the tax removal on these items. A few years ago, the fiscal note was about $150 million. He believes this is a "measured step forward" compared to trying to remove all grocery taxes and that the dollars saved by Tennesseans will go back into the economy.Charlie Kirk Memorial Courtyard Bill: Representative Fritts and Senator Pod are running a bill for schools that would create the Charlie Kirk Memorial Courtyard. The idea evolved from an initial proposal for a road or boulevard. The courtyards are intended to be a conversation space, memorializing the importance of dialogue, and would allow for public donations to help. The idea is to remind "crazy leftist Marxist radicals" on college campuses that they are near things like the Ten Commandments and the Declaration of Independence.Illegal Immigration: Representative Fritts believes Tennessee has led the nation in addressing illegal immigration, specifically with House Bill 1872, which addresses violent crime committed by illegal immigrants with a life in prison sentence without parole. He also highlighted the importance of considering residency status for bond.Non-Essentialism Bill: Representative Fritts is still pursuing his non-essentialism bill, which the governor's office has fought for three years.Property Tax: Representative Fritts wants to address property taxes by getting rid of the unrealized capital gain tax. He also wants to fix the value of a home at its 2020 value or what the owner paid for it since then. His bill aims to prevent U.S. citizens from being evicted for delinquent property taxes, especially if they have owned the house for ten years.Sanctity of Life Bill: This bill focuses on five areas and includes provisions related to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Representative Fritts stated that to discard or destroy a fertilized egg as part of the IVF process is murder. The bill is intended as a "corrective measure" after Governor Lee did not veto a bill that Fritts believed gave the right to create and discard human life at will. The other categories addressed in the bill are transgender surgeries, human trafficking, and abortion.Obscenity and Pornography: A bill is being introduced to take on obscenity and pornography in public places. It would require places like a strip club to post a sign warning that patrons "may be contributing to human trafficking, sexual assault, and family violence". Books and tapes would also require a warning label similar to a pack of cigarettes.Gun Bills: Representative Fritts is working on two gun bills, which address the "intent to go armed". One bill is already filed. The other bill would also include campus carry, allowing young adults to carry a firearm on campus, and would allow citizens to protect their private property with a firearm. The bill also addresses long guns.

Legislative Priorities on Capitol Hill Post-Major Bill Passage With Congressman Wesley Hunt

In a major development, Congressman Ralph Norman reveals on 98.9 WORD that the House Freedom Caucus is prepared to block former President Trump's signature legislative push—dubbed the “big beautiful bill”—if core demands are not met, including immediate action on Medicaid reform, codification of Trump-era tax cuts, and removal of illegals from benefit programs. Norman discusses his decision to co-sign a pivotal letter to Speaker Mike Johnson urging Republicans to enshrine the Trump agenda into law, criticizing weak GOP leadership, runaway spending, and judicial overreach. This explosive interview exposes the mounting internal GOP tension, looming threats to the U.S. dollar, and a potential legislative showdown.

In this compelling episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter welcomes Alaska State Representative Sarah Vance, who represents District 6 out of Homer, for an in-depth look at the Alaska State Legislature's current session. Recorded on March 3, 2025, this conversation unpacks the bills that have landed in House Finance—a key indicator of legislative priorities—45 days into the session. From the recently passed Railroad Corporation Financing bill to proposals like increased education funding, e-cigarette taxes, and defined benefits for public employees, Rep. Vance breaks down what's moving and why. She highlights a recurring theme: a government-centric focus that seems to prioritize public sector interests over the needs of everyday Alaskans.   Rep. Vance doesn't shy away from tough questions, challenging the status quo of “business as usual” in Juneau. She critiques the lack of education policy reforms tied to the proposed $1,000 Base Student Allocation (BSA) increase, which could balloon the education budget by 43% over three years, and questions how Alaskans will foot the bill—potentially through a shrinking Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) or new taxes. With passion and clarity, she connects the dots between a stifled economy, social issues like domestic violence, and the need for a legislature that champions liberty and self-reliance over dependency on federal dollars or government expansion.   Beyond the numbers, Vance shares her personal legislative efforts, including bills to combat human trafficking and obscene child sex material—measures aimed at real-world safety rather than government growth—though they remain stalled in committee. She urges Alaskans to stay engaged, emphasizing that public outcry is critical to driving reform, reducing waste, and refocusing the state on economic vitality and independence. Listeners will also hear her frustration with the lack of will to cut inefficiencies (like unfilled government positions) and her call for a mindset shift away from begging for federal handouts toward leveraging Alaska's vast resources.   Join Ben and Sarah for an authentic, no-holds-barred update from the heart of “Stinky Juneau,” peeling back the layers of the onion in a capital that's hard to access and harder to influence.
