[tps_title]Sen. Arthur Orr, Chairman, Senate General Fund Budget Committee[/tps_title]
As the General Fund Budget Chairman in the Senate, Orr is the epicenter of the biggest battle in state government.
He has earned a reputation among his colleagues, lobbyists and executive branch agency heads for being a serious customer. No one looks forward to sitting down in Orr’s office to convince him their department or interest is worthy of General Fund dollars. He challenges everyone who walks in.
Orr is an underrated operator behind-the-scenes and often stirs the pot in both chambers in ways that most people don’t even realize. Being Senate Budget Chairman is a big deal, but it likely won’t end up being the highest title Orr attains in state government.
