From the “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” Dept.:
House Aviation panel chairman [John] Mica, scrambling to pass a proposal allowing privatization of some air-traffic control towers, tells Republicans he would exempt those in their states in exchange for votes. “I have a bill to pass,” he says; the proposal is in a larger bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration. Democrats aren’t given the same offer: “They want to scuttle the bill,” a Mica aide says.
Thanks to WaPo and CalPundit.
Thank you for posting this. I will bring it into my Congress class tomorrow as an example of the dangers of one party government and of one party controlling the House for too long.
