Critical Vote Advances Paycheck Protection

Today, the House State Government Committee advanced House Bill 1507 to the floor, taking the first step towards ending the taxpayer collection of government union campaign contributions and political money. We applaud the House State Government Committee’s determination to restore fairness and accountability to a process that harms both taxpayers and public employees.

Thanks to today’s vote, teachers like Keith Williams, who testified before the committee, now have hope that their voices will no longer be co-opted by union executives who abuse taxpayer resources and teachers’ paychecks to advance their own political agendas.

A big thanks to Chairman Daryl Metcalfe and the Committee members who voted ‘YEA’ on paycheck protection—an important step in order for the legislation to move on for a full House vote.
