DC Voting Rights Drama Continues

I wish I had more time to tune into C-SPAN today, because apparently it was pretty lively with the DC Voting Rights Act. If you are a DC-resident, you should tune in to the great coverage on DCist. I was laughing pretty hard. It reminded me of those live bloggers who stream tweets from Macworld. There is an idea...staffer should tweet what their bosses are saying and how they are voting.

Anyway, back to the drama.

Did you know there was a vote on lifting the Federal Income Tax for DC resident while all this is sorted out? Check out the blow by blow on DCist - my favorite recap occurs at 6:11 pm:

6:11 p.m. Amendment to exempt D.C. residents from federal income tax fails, 7-91. Frankly, that's closer than we thought it would be.

Job well done. I will have to tune in tomorrow, because everyone threw in the towel at 7:28 PM. Glad to know they are not working too late tonight. They need to be at their best when they resume tomorrow at 9:30. Have a cold one tonight on DC, while you think about the vote. Sounds like it will pass NLT Friday.
