It's a shame our local cowardwoman is only interested in bogus, heroic, low-hanging fruit bills that make it seem like she's actually dfoing something when, in fact, she's doing nothing.
Don't be fooled. This is a waste of time, effort and energy.
Meanwhile, the coward representing us does nothing about the CRC scam, continues to avoid town hall meetings, and has contin ued to ignore controversial issues like DADT, Women in combat and the like while voting with her boobs on gender-based bigotry like the so-called "Violence Against Women Act."
What a shameful shell of what a member of congress is SUPPOSED to be.
Congressional hearing on Pearson Air Museum bill set for Thursday

The House Natural Resources Committee will hear a bill Thursday morning that could shift ownership of Pearson Air Museum from the National Park Service to the city of Vancouver.
HR 716 was introduced on on Feb. 14 by U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas. It would transfer 7 acres from the Park Service so the museum can reopen under management by the Fort Vancouver National Trust, which had operated the museum for the city since 2005.
If the House Natural Resources Committee’s Public Lands and Environmental Regulation Subcommittee votes to approve it, the bill will then move to the House floor.
The bill will be heard along with two others by the subcommittee, which meets at 7 a.m. The hearing will be broadcast live at http://naturalresources.house.gov/live/.
After the hearing the broadcast will be available in the committee archive here: http://naturalresources.house.gov/calendar/archives/list.aspx?EventTypeID=264%3A265&SearchPhrase=
The museum switched management on Feb. 6 as conflicts came to a head between the National Park Service, which owns the land and building, and the Fort Vancouver National Trust, which had operated the museum for the city of Vancouver for several years.
While I would like to see Pearson returned to the community, I'm not optimistic she can get it done.
ReplyDeleteWe'll know soon.
This bill is going nowhere and the Parks Service do not take kindly to this sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteShe should have tried to persuade them to come to a deal behind the scenes: instead, she grandstanded a bill that has zero chance in the Senate and even less of a chance that Obama would ev3er sign it.
A waste of time, effort and money... but not PR for our worthless Congresstwit.
