Transparency Triumph: House Passes Bill to Expose Back‑Room Deals - Rep Tom Kunse 6-5-25
from Justin Barclay · host WOOD Radio
Michigan Rep. Tom Kunse celebrates House passage of HB 4420, a transparency‑torch that would force every lawmaker to slap their name and a public price tag on local earmark requests—ending smoke‑filled‑room horse‑trading like the infamous $2.5 million Detroit horse stable. Kunse explains the GOP’s January rule that sparked the bill, vows to press the Democrat‑led Senate with “How can you vote against sunlight?” and predicts it will apply to the 2026 budget even if this year’s crunch sidelines it. Beyond the floodlight bill, he touts Republican momentum on a streamlined school budget (ditching 160 categorical line items), a $5,500 scholarship usable at colleges and trade schools, and an ambitious overhaul of Michigan’s antiquated 1951 road‑funding formula—all framed as proof Lansing can “walk and chew gum” on reform.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comKirk Elliott PHD - FREE consultation on wealth conservation - http://GoldWithJustin.comJoin Justin in the MAHA revolution - http://HealthWithJustin.comTry Cue Streaming for just $2 / day and help support the good guys https://justinbarclay.com/cueUp to 80% OFF!
