I was quite disappointed when he came to our subcommittee when we were talking about housing. He indicated that poverty was a state of mind and had nothing much to do with the economics or discrimination or the environment or the state of condition in terms of one's circumstances. Perhaps he was sensitized by this visit. Let us hope so.

I will seek an independent investigation and pause all executions for the rest of 2026.
It’s exactly why we will have a thorough, comprehensive review of what happened, so that we can know the answers that so many people want.
It’s a tragedy, and it’s deeply disturbing that that has happened in this state. The people deserve better than that.
There are a lot of questions. The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered.
