Jason Burr is the Libertarian candidate for Alabama House District 43. Mr. Burr has grown up in this area off Caldwell Mill Road. Mr. Burr is a graduate of Birmingham-Southern College.
  • A fiscal conservative
  • Against new taxes
  • Liberty for ALL
Mr. Burr seeks to promote initiative and referendum powers for the voters in Alabama in the way 26 other States allow their citizens.
The Governor of a State should ideally set a legislative agenda according to the plans for the State that the Governor desires. The matters discussed in legislative session should be in accordance with the Governors priorities. Conversely, legislative matters can be brought forth by members of the legislative body and should be discussed with the Governor prior to proposal to garner the support of the Governors office to ensure confirmation if passed by both legislative bodies.
Over the next 10 years the State of Alabama faces challenges in defining “States Rights”. As the Federal Government returns more powers to the States, it will be our elected officials jobs to create and define how Alabamians want to be governed in our State.
A Unicameral State legislature would have the benefit of speeding up the process of debate in State Government. Often times matters pass one body and fail in another. A lot of time is spent in both chambers in debate on the same issue, with no positive results. The differences between the bodies in State legislature are in the population a Senator represents vs a House District Representative. More representation provides a more diverse opinion ensuring constituents are properly represented. A Unicameral body can be both good and bad depending on the agenda of the Governor.
If we insist on the precedent that State legislatures have previous experience in government or politics, we then create a body of Representatives that are an elite class separated from the constituents. The main goal when electing a representative is to have a member of your local society who represents the people who live in that area. Additionally, “experience” breeds corruption. The longer a politician spends learning how things work, the more accustomed to which back to scratch they become. Term limits would give an opportunity for new ideas and diversity to govern our State by changing who sits at the table often. Politicians hold these positions for too long and become complacent in their jobs! They should serve, represent, then go home and make way for the next. Just like we do for the Office of the President.
