Friday

* The Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 has passed, according to the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

In reading Roll Call Vote 680, I found that 142 members voted against the bill, including:

Austria, Bachmann, Blunt, Boehner, Cantor, Duncan, Foxx, Hensarling, Hoekstra, Latta, McHenry, Pence, Schmidt---- the usual suspects. I guess they are not for safe food.

* Republican Jon Husted is a little late in his discussions with NCR, which is pulling out of Dayton. If Husted actually spent more time in the Dayton area instead of fancy, schmancy Upper Arlington, he'd have known about NCR's planned move to Georgia.

WHIO-TV:
Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, called on NCR to begin supplying more information about the planned move to Georgia and how the move will impact local employees.
The company’s decision to leave Ohio caught local authorities off guard. Efforts to discuss the move with company leaders have not been successful....

Husted needs to look for employers that will fill the void in the Dayton area instead of wasting his time and energy with NCR. NCR's move is a done deal. Move on already!
