Liz Boyd Governor Quotations

If this bill lands on the governor's desk, it's very unlikely that the governor would turn her back on that bill.

I will point out to you that the governor opposes the initiative. I will point out to you that she asked the Civil Tights Commission to investigate, and that has brought some transparency to what has not been a very transparent process.

Today, the governor has no intention of suspending the sales tax. It would be an option, under a variety of circumstances.

The governor knew that. She enthusiastically signed the bill.

Up to this point, no one has identified any clear legal authority that would allow the governor to intervene in this matter.

The governor agrees we need to make the business climate better but we can't do it at the expense of working families.

The governor believes the early opt-out is a cop-out.

It will remain in the state treasury. At this point, the legislature would have to vote to extend the offer beyond 60 days. The governor would certainly be open to extending that offer beyond the 60 days.

It was a positive meeting and the governor appreciates the sheriffs -- they are the backbone of law enforcement.
