Barbara Boxer thought she was being clever when she said to Ms. Rice, «You're not going to pay any particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family.»
The first week of Democrat control in the House, they have decided to take today off due to the the big game tonight. Next Monday is MLK Jr. Day so it will be a four day week as well.
It was my understanding throughout the campaign that, should the Democrats regain power in the House and Senate, they were going to clean up and reform the influence of lobbyists.
The House Republicans are out there acting like a bunch of whiny Democrats, complaining about how the Democrats are breaking their promise to include them in bipartisanship cooperation in the legislative process. What did they think was going to happen?
Speaker Scott Sales mirrored what the Democrats did in the State Senate when they assigned two and three member Democrat majorities in their committee assignments. He assigned Republicans a three-vote margin on the House Appropriations Committee which mirrors the Senate Democrats giving themselves a three-vote margin on the Senate Finance and Claims Committee. Both committees deal with the State Budget.
