Get Along Outlook For State Legislature Cooperation
State Senator Jay Bond of the Douglas Jefferson district said a Democratic governor and Republican legislature could work smoothly if the new administration makes a good start. He noted the senate is largely Republican and the house still decisive, but cooperation is possible with a nonpartisan approach. If partisan lines hold, a difficult period could follow. Bond cited young senators open to cross party ties and personal friendships with the governor as factors favoring collaboration. He expected an interesting session but warned careful leadership would keep state business from suffering.
