I recall the legislature (then controlled by R's) had a fit.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe I'm smoking crack?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1978080050994284262007-03-30T08:02:00.000-05:002007-03-30T08:02:00.000-05:00Anon 8:31 hits another home run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-74011218517078095512007-03-29T20:31:00.000-05:002007-03-29T20:31:00.000-05:00"A majority of Senate Republicans, including President Pro Tempore David Long, voted against it"?<BR/><BR/>The public and media clearly know that the Senate has a Republican majority.

He was replaced by a mental midget, but it was time. Borst, too. That pipe-and-patience thing wore very thin, as did the Ivy Tech suckup job. Anyone know what he really did there?<BR/><BR/>Fresh blood is a good thing. And the new Pro Tem is a smart cookie. He knows this vote was needed, even if the governor vetoes it.<BR/><BR/>Nobody farts in the Senate without the Republicans' approval, their margin is so large. This was a Republican proposal.<BR/><BR/>I actually talked to Sen. Bowser about this exact concept on Opening Day. She was neutral. Although she's surely not neutral on her replacement.
