Recent House Votes:
Fiscal 2016 Military Construction - VA Appropriations - Passage Vote Passed (255-163, 13 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would provide $171.1 billion in fiscal 2016 for the Veterans Affairs department, military construction and military housing. It would provide $76.6 billion in discretionary spending, including $60.2 billion for veterans health programs.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Looks like May started in a contrary way for little David Scott. Do not know the reason for his denial, but owing to my belief that the Republicans are generally for ponying up the money for Veteran’s care and Democrats are not, I’ll take this is proof that the Democrats part line about caring for the people and not the service is simply lip service, the two cannot be separated.
D.C. Reproductive Health Law – Passage Vote Passed (228-192, 11 Not Voting)
The House passed a joint resolution that would provide for disapproval and repeal of the District of Columbia's Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act of 2014, which prohibits employers from discriminating based on an individual's reproductive health decisions.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Politicians trying to undo the work of only a year ago.
Fiscal 2016 Energy-Water Appropriations - Passage Vote Passed (240-177, 14 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would provide $36.1 billion in fiscal 2016 to fund the Energy Department, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation and several regional water and power authorities. It would provide $29.0 billion for the Energy Department, of which $12.3 billion would be designated for the National Nuclear Security Administration. It also would provide $5.6 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers and $1.1 billion for the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Would have thought that 1.1 Billion for reclamation would be right up the Democrats alley. They are advocates for using Federal resources to take land by imminent domain and at times outright theft. Reclamation is a euphemism for buying up land intended to keep people out of. People have forgotten quickly about Pfizer in New London and more recently the standoff in Arizona. Government want to control the land so that it can force folks into urban planning schemes. In truth I am surprised with David’s vote, that he went no is ok with me.
Upcoming Votes:
A joint resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the NLRB relating to representation case procedures - S.J.Res.8 The Senate is scheduled to work on this joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board relating to representation case procedures.
David Scott will vote against this, mark my words.
