Along with effectively eliminating all legal abortions, the new (Republican) Governor Brownass has cut virtually all funding for social services of all kinds, reduced school budgets to the tune of several thousand jobs eliminated, removed all funding for school music programs (with a few sparse exceptions), and eliminated all but "A team" sports in the high schools. He also recommends closing of many schools, although that seems still to be "pending."

He has of course continued to spout the Republican line that "job creation" is the number one priority, while putting several thousand teachers who might help make students into useful workers out of work.

He also loudly proclaims the "no new taxes" (for our rich friends) while nearly all local jurisdictions are being forced into proposing new sales taxes (regressive and already high in comparison to other states, but the big donors don't pay them) in order to restore some of the state cuts from local budgets.

The new Republican motto here appears to be "IGNORANCE is good for us (Republicans), and we'll enforce it no matter what."

While a Senator, he introduced (multiple times) legislation to prohibit the US Supreme court from hearing any complaint about any law, or enforcement, of any action committed or performed by any "public official in god's name." (He never said which god.)
