A finger clearly aimed at Cerpicky and any other state legislator that dared question her, as the Governor gazed on in affectionate appreciation for his disruptive child, In essence, telling everyone, “She’s a wild one. Can’t control her. She’s going to cause chaos and I’m proud of her for her reckless spirit.”
