State Representative Brian Harrison is outraged. About what, exactly, depends on the day.
On April 9, for example, his outrage stemmed from a motion on the House budget bill that passed 126-20. The motion called for moving nearly 200 amendments—including Harrison’s anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) ones—off the debate table. Already anticipating slogging through 14 hours of debate, most lawmakers jumped at the chance to avoid back-and-forth on those divisive amendments that had virtually no chance of being adopted.
Harrison, however, wasn’t having it.
