Jonathon D. Hill Quotes

I'm in the law-making business, but I can't fix your neighbors with more government force, more clogged courts, more jail, more taxes or fines, more loss of property, and less liberty. My job as a lawmaker is to repeal unjust laws and expose corruption in government, not make more of it.

At the end of the day, these unwritten rules of conduct are meant to hide the fact that politics is, and has always been, a form of warfare. It is a struggle for power, deciding who rules whom. The legislature is not a brotherhood, as some have called it. It is not a fraternity, or a private, exclusive club. It is merely a (hopefully) fair representation of the people of the state, whose business we convene to do. Sometimes, doing the people’s business means breaking the rules and defying the conventional wisdom. I'm in it to do your business, not because I need the acceptance or approval of the "swamp creatures."
