Another week, another opportunity to get emails from disgruntled Reps who missed one vote. That seems to be the cycle. The folks who’ve been diligent get miffed, while the gross offenders could care less. That’s fine; this is, after all, to alert the people that a handful consistently refuse to represent.
A quick note from the data guy: Rep. Soti was present but declared an ethical conflict and did not vote three times. As you can see, several Reps had excellent records until today. It must have been something serious that kept them away. Several Reps were there all day until near the end, so I assume they had to leave for work or something else important.
Here’s the attendance record for this week (on the left) and the total roll call votes missed all year on the right.
Have compassion for your citizen legislators who have to leave for jobs or other responsibilities when the session runs long (as it has these past few weeks), but know that both sides (majority and minority) must play the game of chess to effect the best possible outcomes.
If you’d like a round-up of yesterday’s House business, we published one this morning.
