ICYMI: LaRossa and Gallagher Radio Show, June 21 Edition

What an informative show we had yesterday! Having just listened to a recording of the show, I am really impressed with the breadth of knowledge of our two guests, former Colorado Senate President John Andrews and New Jersey Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon, and with their ability to share so much with our audience so concisely.

In the first half hour of the show, Andrews discusses the many reforms that have been enacted in Colorado over the last twenty year that have made government smaller and more affordable.

Colorado has had term limits for elected officials for twenty years. Andrews gave us a candid view of how they are working.

Colorado has a Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR), a constitutional provision that requires that all tax increases and all government spending that exceeds a formula of inflation and population growth at all levels of government be approved by the voters. Andrews discusses this in depth. His segment of the show should be required listening for all New Jersey policy makers and advisers.

During the second half hour of the show we were privledged to have Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon, the Republican Budget Officer and Policy Co-Chair join us.

O’Scanlon got into the nitty gritty of the pension and benefits bill passed this week in Trenton. O’Scanlon made the case that the bill is not Reform In Name Only and discussed how it will impact the budget that will be crafted over the next week.

I hope you enjoy the show and that you tune in next week to the live show on Tuesday from 5PM-6PM on WIFI AM 1460.
