Representative Micah Caskey describes functions of Rules Committee, the budget process and pay for local law enforcement

Rep. Micah Caskey, Chairman of the House Rules Committee, shares with podcast host Frank Knapp the importance of his committee and the process of setting legislation for special order. Amendments during the budgetary process on the House floor need to follow the rules. He describes the overall legislative budget process and addresses differences between the House and Senate budgets. Rep. Caskey also talks about how important it is to pay local law enforcement officers more and how his legislation can help these men and women keep more of the pay that they receive by excluding their income from state tax. Rep. Caskey also expresses the need for better roads in his county, Lexington, and how making smarter engineering decisions as plans are being prepared is critical.
