Not quite 4 months in, Democrats are already undoing efforts to clean up Congress. Now "Friends" can fly congressmen under new rules. Always be suspicious of a voice vote at midnight. And it was unanimous.
"Led by House Ethics Committee chair Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), the House of Representatives on Wednesday unanmiously agreed to loosen strict rules on members' acceptance of free airplane rides that were adopted when Democrats took over Congress in January. The measure, adopted on a May 2 voice vote minutes before the House of Representatives adjourned at 11:59 p.m., was labeled as an effort to 'clarify certain matters relating to official conduct' of the House of Representatives."
No he wasn't a lobbyist, he was my personal friend who happens to be a lobbyist. I guess this proves that flying commercial sucks too much for Congress. Boo hoo.
