Markey: all positions except No on cap and tax bill
I’ve asked repeatedly for Congresswoman Betsy Markey’s position on what the Wall Street Journal calls the largest tax in American history — the global warming bill that Speaker Pelosi is forcing through the House right now. I’ve sent at least three emails this week asking her office how she intends to vote. So far, no response.
That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a position.
According to leftist Denver Post columnist Susan Greene, Markey has “pledged support” for the bill. According to listeners, Markey’s Washington DC office says she is undecided. While her Greeley office says she is leaning towards supporting the bill.
So far, she has at least three positions none of them being NO.
If she votes in favor of a bill that the Heritage Foundation says will cost the average family of four nearly $4000 per year and kill jobs, including thousands in Colorado’s 4th CD, she will have some serious explaining to do if she expects to be re-elected.
