Battling over the lunch break

May 20th, 2009 - 11:44 am by Jenny Hoff · No Comments

With less than 2 weeks left in the legislative session, lawmakers will stop at nothing to make their voices louder than their opponents. Today, Rep. Betty Brown who is carrying the voter ID bill in the House scheduled a press conference during their lunch break in the speaker’s committee room. It turns out the Democratic caucus, which strongly opposes that legislation, decided to hold a meeting there as well.

While the press waits inside to see who will win the war, Democrats are sending in “place holders” to declare victory over this first battle of the House voter ID debate..

UPDATE: The dems have won for now. Brown came in and watched them for a minute with an unhappy look on her face as they bashed voter I.D. and then she left.
