How was your day?
I love reading votes. They help me get an idea how much heavy lifting is involved in a lawmaker's day. Say what you will about the final result, but there's a lot in a Minnesota Legislature member's day.
I'm not so sure about Congress, where sometimes it seems like the goal is to have a couple of votes about issues that nobody disagrees with, and then race over to the RNCC or DNCC to raise some cash.
Yesterday's heavy lifting in Congress:
Designate the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Muskogee, Oklahoma, As the Jack C. Montgomery Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (407-0)
