WHY BOTHER WITH SUCH PETTINESS AS PROVIDING A WRITTEN COPY OF THE LEGISLATION? JUST AUTHORIZE $52 BIL FOR WHAT WE VERBALLY ARE CALLING KATRINA RELIEF BILL. FORGET THE GUCKING DEBATE--NO TIME FOR THAT 2 HOURS... (the actions described here would be considered an outrage if they occured at your local PTA meeting) Republicans block efforts to amend relief bill, hold vote without providing copy of bill John Byrne In the wake of what the Wall Street Journal projected may be the most expensive natural disaster in American history, the Republican Leadership in the House of Representatives limited floor consideration of the $52 billion Katrina relief bill proposed by President Bush and voted to reject any Democratic efforts to amend the bill to include a wider array of relief measures, RAW STORY has learned. Democrats said no one had even seen a copy of the legislation. Voting along party lines, Republicans denied a measure that would have allowed for two hours of discussion and opened up the measure to be amended. rawstory.com
