Yes, but...

Yes, it's true. And though I'm offended by his comments on 'other matters' - as I said on @77WABCradio & @BillSchulz's show yesterday - I was neither threatened nor offended in elevator.

A DSA organizer stated she won't vote for Doug Jones because he hasn't endorsed single-payer, tuition free schools, and $15/minimum wage.

Christie has a history of diverting environment funds to help balance the budget. Over his eight years in office, he has taken more than $1 billion from the state's clean energy program and diverted it to the general fund. He also moved almost $300 million of the $355 million received from three legal settlements with Passaic River polluters.

In response, voters approved a constitutional amendment in November that would block any governor from using environment settlement funds for anything other than "restoring and protecting natural resources and paying the costs of pursuing the settlements."

DETROIT (AP) — Michigan's Republican governor announced Friday that Democrat John Conyers' congressional seat will not be filled until the regularly scheduled November election, leaving it vacant for nearly a year.

Gov. Rick Snyder decided the post will be listed twice on the August primary and November general election ballots. While unlikely, it is possible voters could choose one candidate to fill the vacancy until January 2019 and elect another to a full two-year term after that.

It is unusual for a congressional district to stay vacant for so long, according to a review of vacancies and successors listed on the House website. In the last 20 years, the longest time a seat stayed empty was 10 months — in 2014, when Rep. Melvin Watt of North Carolina left to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Snyder said he opted against having an earlier special election to give potential candidates ample time to decide about running, provide voters in the predominantly Democratic district more options and save money.
