By Sam Drysdale, State House News Service

"Our caucus has been seeking major reforms for the rules by which the Senate and the legislature operate for the past several years," Minority Leader Bruce Tarr said in a statement Wednesday, "and the message delivered by the Senate President on inauguration day signals a real opportunity for collaboration to increase not only transparency in the legislative process, but also increasing the efficiency of our efforts on behalf of those that we represent. We are putting our ideas on the table in hopes of finding consensus to capture that opportunity as fully as possible."
