Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t a lot of politicos on all levels vote contrary to what one would expect when a bill is going to pass overwhelmingly as not to tick off the base?
McCotter seems to do this repeatedly.
Well he is a Livonia rep.
I’m not in his district but I’m guessing I would vote for him simply because he’s as good as its going to get in the current situation.
From the article:
“This is the second time this year that Rep. McCotter has been on the deciding edge of a vote that promoted PLAs on government projects. In February, another amendment to a different budget would have banned the use of PLAs on federal construction projects. That proposal failed on a 210-210 tie vote. Once again, there were 26 Republicans — including McCotter — standing with Democrats to defend the president’s policy of keeping the PLA requirement in place.”
