This release came in a few minutes ago. I refer, of course, to the headline:
For Immediate ReleaseJanuary 9th, 2018SC HOUSE REPUBLICANS SET TO SUSTAIN VETO ON SCHOOL BUSS FUNDING“There is nothing more important than our children’s health and education, but the Governor and Speaker are choosing to play politics with their safety instead of working with Democrats.” – SCDP Chairman Trav RobertsonColumbia, SC — At 2 PM this afternoon, South Carolina Speaker Jay Lucas will bring up a vote to override Governor Henry McMaster’s Veto 15 from the budget regarding school bus funding – money that is desperately needed to reinforce our aging fleet across the state – even though he does not have enough Republican votes to override the veto and he knows it:“The Speaker is rushing to get it off of his plate because he doesn’t like the optics of having Republicans willfully endanger our children,” said South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Trav Robertson. “The truth is that the Speaker is putting South Carolina’s children in danger because Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to get them out of this terrible situation the Governor has put us in. Both Speaker Lucas and Governor McMaster would rather have our children suffer than work with Democrats. The people of South Carolina have to live with the consequences of this series of political stunts by the Republicans.”###
Yep, we gotta do something about all that smoochin’ going on in our public schools…
Is that what they call a “blunderbuss?”
Sorry. I’ll go away now…
Oops, they did it again:
I’d link you to the releases, but the SC Democratic Party hasn’t posted any of its press releases since early September.
I can’t imagine why. It puzzles me when people fail to keep up that way. The “hard” (relatively) part is writing the release and sending it out on the eblast. Adding it to a website just take another minute, probably less…
That’s not the version the people wanted to see.
