Making good on yesterday's promise to push a Gas Tax Holiday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, House Republicans in the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee put forward an amendment doing just that. The Democrats voted it down 31-14 along party lines. The vote went too fast for me to list the names of those who voted "Nay", but as soon as the tally sheet comes out I'll post those.
Amazingly, what should have been a throw away news story for Republicans instead wound up knocking the gay marriage Supreme Court case off the front page! Although, how Rell gets credit for this, I'll never know--all I do know is that it's better to have her behind this proposal than against it. Another great policy move via press release!
