Another brutal week of work in congress

A backbreaking agenda of naming buildings and roads with some re-authorization of e siting legislation.

The one agenda item I found interesting is the one dealing with the presidential war powers resolution. Am I crazy or are the same people that criticized Obama for setting a date for removal of troops now telling him to set a definitive date?



June 16, 2015
        As part of a larger effort to improve government transparency and keep the constituents of Pennsylvania's 4th Congressional District informed of current legislative business, I send out updates at the beginning of each Session week as an overview of legislative matters to be addressed. Please click on my photo below to listen to the audio clip.

No, you're not crazy.
