Exile at Rochesterturning, who endures the D&C blogs,
found a nugget there: Randy Kuhl has written a letter to his colleagues urging them to condemn states that issue drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants. His colleague, Tom Latham (R-IA-4), plans to
introduce a bill to that effect next week.
Rep. Kuhl's Elmira College earmark in the House Labor and HHS bill
got more play in the Elmira-Star Gazette today. That earmark, which the S-G says was $200K, but an
independent watchdog says was $100K, was part of a bill that
passed in July without Randy Kuhl's vote. The
conference report of the same bill, which is 853 pages of unsearchable text,
passed yesterday with Kuhl's vote. Since Eric Massa has been making much of Kuhl's habit of voting against bills that contain his earmarks, Kuhl can now claim that he did actually vote for the bill in its final form.
