Rep. Avery Bourne Talks Hits & Misses From Legislative Session

With the Legislative session wrapping up, Representative Avery Bourne says there are a lot of things that she was happy about, and some that she felt could have been done a little better. Having session held in the Convention Center, Bourne felt that the staff and workers did a good job putting everything together in a short amount of time. 

 

Representative Bourne says that one area that they were able to be successful in was a bill on school adaptations for E-learning.

 

One area of frustration for Republicans is mail-in ballots. This year you have the option to vote by mail-in ballot regardless of your situation or go to a polling place. Representative Bourne says mail-in ballots are fine, what she is frustrated with are a lack of checks in place to prevent issues.

 

Representative Bourne also felt that there should have been more for small businesses and for unemployment.

 

State Representative Avery Bourne represents the 95th district.
