They denied it, said it was rumor by the SAC Bee then hung up on me while I was talking to them.
RECALL that SOB! Make him leave in disgrace, not in a golden parachute.

I think they were playing games with the truth. Technically, he hadn’t set forth a position since he had abstained from voting (in multiple rounds) until they got Maldonado to roll and provide the final vote needed. He was never “on record” as supporting it until that final round.
His speech was a real gagger, using Ronald Reagan as his reason for voting for taxes (Hey, Reagan did it! WWRRD? He’d vote for it!)
I share your outrage.
He also supported Maldonado’s open primary bills, I believe.
