How politics works
The Rep tells us that the guns in bars bill is back. He has the details of the vote:
It came to a vote. 66 votes were needed to bring it to the house floor, but only 54 voted yes. 36 members voted no, and 8 didn’t vote. Curious is that there were 63 sponsors and co-sponsors of this bill. It now appears obvious that some members signed on as co-sponsors banking on the standard operating procedure that it would be killed in committee and never come to a vote.
It looks like those “sponsors” were put to the test. When the rubber actually meets the pavement, how did they vote?
Legislators doing one thing and meaning another? Unheard of.
