Rep. Peterson Rolls Over Plays Lapdog
All the media’s might couldn’t make Rep. Colin Peterson (D MN7) a moderate again.
US House Democrats reach climate change deal, vote soon
WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives working on climate change bill said on Tuesday that they had reached a deal on difficult agriculture issues that will clear the way for a vote, and probable passage, in the chamber this week.
“We have an agreement finally,” said House Agriculture Committee chairman Collin Peterson whose support has been widely sought by House Democratic leaders.
Representative Henry Waxman, a main proponent for legislation to reduce industrial emissions of carbon dioxide told reporters the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the Environmental Protection Agency, will be put in charge of overseeing some carbon reductions efforts by farmers, a major demand of farm-state Democrats in the House. Waxman also said that with this deal he thought there would be “a majority to pass the bill,” in the House. (Reporting by Richard Cowan, Editing by Jackie Frank)
What of the demands of the average American who will be forced to pay for this feel good legislation solely forced at higher consumer costs and lower the standard of living for Americans?
Oh yeah, that is not part of the hope and change express that Colin Peterson just jumped on board of.
