Failed

The Stream Saver bill just failed in the KY House Appropriations & Revenue committee by one vote. Three representatives passed on their vote, and one, Rep. Denham, ran from the room so his vote would be counted as absent.

I'm not usually one for name calling, but those non-voters are spineless weasels.

Their non-vote was a vote for greed, corruption and corporate profit. At least the constituents of those who voted "no" can know what their representative stands for, even if it is for Big Coal.

I'll have more later, I'm sure. But, right now, I'm going to mourn. Mourn the 300 more days until the next regular session of the General Assembly, mourn one more year of the destruction of the mountains.

Yes, I'm going to mourn and then find a way to come back fighting.

Until then...
