In a story about my congressional representative (Congressman Billy Long talks with KY3 regarding Capitol Insurrection and possible Senate run that really does not offer any detail but a couple quotes from the Congressman and a couple of times mentions that the Republicans blocked creating of a commission to “investigate” the “insurrection.”
It does, however, offer this bit of civics:
The vote was 54 in favor of the bill and 35 against. That is just six short of what it needed to be at 60 in order for it to pass.
That’s not actually for it to pass, but it’s all the same I suppose for a twenty-four-year-old journalist.
Full disclosure: Although I have voted for Mr. Long, I have not had my picture taken with him since Friday, when I attended the reopening of the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield visitor center where he spoke.
So that’s why posting has been light late last week: I’ve been, you know, doing stuff.
