The economy. It will come as no surprise to you, chair yellen, that improving Economic Growth is a key priority for congress this year. 2016 was the 11th Consecutive Year that the u. S.

But one principle that has been endured can be found in the words governor mccall spoke at the beginning of his inaugural address. Their words about the importance of a strong relationship between the governor and the legislature. To the extent it is humanly possible to do so, said governor mccall, let us put aside the temptations to be guided by regionalism, factionalism or anything which fragments the public interest.
