D.C. Vote Measure Blocked In Senate
Republican lawmakers yesterday blocked the Senate from taking up the D.C. vote bill, a potentially fatal setback for the District’s most promising effort in years to get a full member of Congress.
The vote was on a motion to simply consider the bill. Fifty-seven senators voted in favor, three short of the 60 needed to proceed. Without enough support to vault the Senate’s procedural hurdles, the bill is expected to stall this year and possibly next year.
In other news, it’s 1:30 AM and I need to go get my laundry from the dryer and re-dry whatever inevitably didn’t dry. I haven’t done all the cleaning I want to do. My motivation sucks in the evenings. I need to take a day off of work just to stay home and work on the apartment.
