Austin Scott Interview: The Finale or Attempting to Transcribe a 78 Minute Interview Kicked My Tail
I’m sending up the white flag on actually transcribing and posting a ‘report’ style post on Austin Scott on the issues.
He appeared to be very open and honest with me, which I greatly appreciate. Here’s the full audio of the interview, and the following are the various clips talking about specific issues.

HB 149: $10 tag fee increase for trauma care
SB 31: Nuclear Power Financing Act
HB 614: Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
HB 160: Super Speeder
SB 200: Transportation Reorganization
