That Americans for Prosperity and I agree. But today the group (usually known for its strong position against any taxes) has taken on the practice of killing bills in subcommittee without a recorded vote.

“Open government is good no matter what party you’re in,” said Ben Marchi, the group’s state director.

The issue became important only when subcommittees were given the right to kill legislation. That has meant that as few as three legislators (subcommittees can be as small as five) can kill a bill.

AFP joins good government advocates (such as the League of Women Voters), the business community, and House Democrats in advocating for this rules change.
