State Representative Clel Baudler is just a few weeks into the new session, yet his thoughts are still on 2016.  

 

Baudler says, “The focus is the budget” as they are going to have to cut $114 to $117 million.

 

With the Republicans now having control of the House, Senate, and Governor’s Office Baudler is hoping that they can now get some bills passed that were held up in the Senate last year.

 

Baudler says, He believes it’s important for us to have contact with our elected officials.

 

“I’m in the phonebook or you can email me. I am very available.”

 

Most of the ideas Baudler gets are from friends or people who suggest things to him. He wants people to know that it’s not just his seat it’s our seat.
