A Republican Congresswoman who has been “missing” for the past six months has finally been found.
Rep. Kay Granger has served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.
However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.
A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.
[…]We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.
The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility.
Why not have a cut off age?
That would put everyone voting for it out of a job.
Asking people with power to give up that power willingly almost never works, unfortunately.
Not asking, making it the rule
But that’s the problem - they make the rules and they’re not going to make up rules to their own detriment.
Have we tried insisting firmly? Asking rhetorically because no we haven’t
Great thinking!
I’ll just check exactly who makes the rules, one second…
Man, you won’t believe this, but the old hags that would have their careers end are the same ones in charge of systemic changes.
Who would have thought.
Don’t vote for the old people
We were going to implement one… but then we all got dementia.
