Votes

*Yesterday, Republican Representatives John Boehner and Bob Latta,  had the ability and concern to update their Twitter accounts, but they voted against a bill on flood insurance (see Clerk of the House-Final Vote Results-Roll Call 447). I guess they'd rather text and play on Twitter than do anything that might help any constituents.  In case you are interested, Jean Schmidt and Jim Jordan also voted against the flood insurance bill.

*  John Kasich brags about his plan to fix education in Ohio.  When he had the chance to help school children in 1994, Kasich voted against Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1994/roll456.xml). Kasich voted against the Radon Awareness and Disclosure Act on July 28, 1994  probably because he doesn't think you ought to know if radon is evident in your home or office  (see http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1994/roll361.xml).
