I would like to wade into this discussion of who voted for what with a short story told by the Senator Spear that I heard at a 60th district convention some years ago. During the endorsement questioning someone had posed a scathing question, laced with derision, about a particular vote cast by Allan. Allan explained that the bill in question had been so badly amended that it bore no resemblance to the original. He went on to describe how the amended version would have been inimical to the interests of the questioner's purposes. So what is the lesson? I contend that you just can not look barefaced at a few word issue and vote. You need to dig into the detail, if you seek understanding. Now I know this is very hard work but perform it you must. >A City for Neighbors flyer..... >Possible. However, I appreciated the transparancy of this--the spreadsheet >is there, the votes are there.
