OK, Brentwood, here’s the latest on your Reps. And if Liz McConnell doesn’t like the idea that she’s earned that Socialist monniker, ask her the same question that has bedeviled national level Democrats the last few years:
Tell us the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist policy wise? After all, both want Government in charge of everything, right?
So, with the end of the regular session when differences in bills between the House and Senate have been hammered out (mostly just between fellow Democrats), the last votes were cast today. So, who voted to protect your Freedoms and family budget – and who voted to put Govt more in charge by taking them?

Not quite done yet – there will be veto overrides in a few weeks (if the Democrats can get the numbers and that will happen only if the Republicans go the route of “..or we shall surely hang separately”). And the budget will have to be restructured as well.
