House Democrats are under scrutiny for their legislative priorities, with critics arguing that they are not focusing on meaningful reforms. The recent introduction of HB 460 has sparked debate, as the bill proposes state-funded financial aid for transgender students who have not registered for selective service and illegal immigrants.

Critics argue that the Democratic supermajority should prioritize issues such as tax relief, safety improvements, and anti-corruption measures instead of advancing what they describe as an "out-of-touch" bill. They believe that these areas require urgent attention and should be at the forefront of legislative efforts.

The debate over HB 460 highlights differing perspectives on what constitutes appropriate use of state resources and the role of government in addressing social issues. As discussions continue, stakeholders on both sides are likely to engage in further dialogue about the state's legislative direction.
