More secret holds on the Government Accountability bill. Per Glenn.
Bill Frist has promised to move the bill in September. Will he let these kinds of shenanigans cause him to dishonor his promise?
UPDATE: Frist responds: “My Democrat colleagues have not yet cleared this legislation … but I’m confident that they will do so promptly or pay the consequences of continued obstruction. Now is the time to act on S. 2590. And we will act this September to pass this bill and bring the bright light of public scrutiny to the federal budget.”
And an email from his staff reads: “Senator Frist will not dishonor his promise.”
MORE: I’m told that Senator Stevens has re-activated his hold on the bill.
Apparently, we’re back to having two holds on the bill.
I’m writing this Tuesday night for a Wednesday a.m. posting. Let’s see if the hold last overnight. Mark Tapscott thinks they might be trying to play us pork busters. Don’t mess with the Busters!
