Budget Reconciliation – Passage Vote Passed (52-47, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate passed the bill that repeals large portions of the 2010 health care overhaul law and cuts off federal funding to Planned Parenthood for one year. Specifically, it zeroes-out the law's penalties for noncompliance with the law's requirements for most individuals to obtain health coverage and employers to offer health insurance. It scraps the law's Medicaid expansion in 2018, as well as subsidies to help individuals buy coverage through the insurance exchanges. It also eliminates certain taxes included in the law, including the tax on certain high-value employer-sponsored health insurance plans.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
These dudes keep playing around the edges, trying to look good for the voters, all the while, they do not give a shit. Have no interest in these little games, if they had any balls they would come up with a comprehensive plan, that includes tort reform and gut the pieces of shit Affordable Care Act.
Surface Transportation Reauthorization-- Passage Vote Agreed to (83-16, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate cleared the conference report on the bill that reauthorizes federal highway and transit programs for five years, through fiscal 2020, at increased funding levels to begin addressing the nation's transportation infrastructure needs. It transfers more than $70 billion from Treasury's general fund and other funds to cover projected shortfalls in the Highway Trust Fund over that time and fully fund the measure's estimated $305 billion cost. The measure also reauthorizes Amtrak and restructures its funding to reflect its major lines of business, renews the charter for the Export-Import Bank and rolls back a reduction in the crop insurance program.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted NO
Amtrak, what freaking joke. In New England, and Atlantic corridor Amtrak is subsidized travel for Yankees, it keeps democrat voters happy. What happened to all of those shovel ready jobs in 2009, did they ever lift a finger to fix anything. Freaking New Orleans with all of politicians, money for nothing and chips for free.
Recent House Votes:
Fiscal 2016 Intelligence Authorization -- Passage Vote Passed (364-58, 11 Not Voting)
The chamber passed a bill that authorizes classified amounts in fiscal 2016 for 16 U.S. intelligence agencies and intelligence-related activities of the U.S. government, including the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA), as well as foreign intelligence activities of the Defense Department, FBI, State Department, Homeland Security Department and other agencies.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Money for snoops, money spent too often on computer hardware rather than the clearly needed manpower on the ground. The President has made clear he holds little value in human intelligence, we know he has none, their attention now is too great on the data rather than the inside man.
EPA Existing Power Plant Rule Disapproval -- Passage Vote Passed (242-180, 11 Not Voting)
The House agreed to a joint resolution expressing disapproval of the rule submitted by the EPA concerning carbon emissions at existing power plants.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
For this crap David Scott is wrong. In Georgia is one of the country's two greatest coal fired electric generating plants. The EPA would have this plant closed down. This congressman stugots is cutting own peoples' livelihood.
EPA New and Retrofitted Power Plant Rule Disapproval -- Passage Vote Passed (235-188, 10 Not Voting)
The House agreed to a joint resolution expressing disapproval of the rule submitted by the EPA concerning carbon emissions at new and retrofitted power plants.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
I think I said enough right above.
K-12 Education Reauthorization -- PassageVote Passed (359-64, 10 Not Voting)
The chamber agreed to the conference report on the bill that reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for four years, through fiscal 2020, and modifies programs and policies throughout the law with the overall goal of giving states, school districts, schools, teachers and parents greater control over all aspects of elementary and secondary education. It maintains some federal oversight of state programs through the Education Department's ability to approve state plans for the use of federal funds, but it places strong restrictions on department actions and control.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
There was some talk that this should return some control to the states. I doubt it, we will have to wait an see.
Energy Security and Infrastructure Overhaul -- Passage Vote Passed (249-174, 10 Not Voting)
The House passed legislation which promotes the accelerated development and construction of natural gas pipelines and hydropower projects by increasing the authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and requiring the agency to set hard deadlines for environmental reviews and permitting, and by requiring the designation of at least 10 corridors across federal lands in the Eastern U.S. where pipelines could be built. It also includes numerous provisions intended to increase the security and reliability of the nation's electrical power grid; revises national energy efficiency standards and requires the Energy Department to expedite decisions on applications to export liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Rep. David Scott voted NO
More of the same crap out of our congressman.
Surface Transportation Reauthorization-- Passage Vote Passed (359-65, 9 Not Voting)
The House adopted the conference report on the bill that reauthorizes federal highway and transit programs for five years, through fiscal 2020, at increased funding levels to begin addressing the nation's transportation infrastructure needs. It transfers more than $70 billion from Treasury's general fund and other funds to cover projected shortfalls in the Highway Trust Fund over that time and fully fund the measure's estimated $305 billion cost. The measure also reauthorizes Amtrak and restructures its funding to reflect its major lines of business, renews the charter for the Export-Import Bank and rolls back a reduction in the crop insurance program.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Said it above, won be a large margin then passed onto the Senate who went ahead and passed.
Upcoming Votes:
K-12 Education Reauthorization - S1177
The measure would reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for four years, through fiscal 2020, and modify programs and policies throughout the law with the overall goal of giving states, school districts, schools, teachers and parents greater control over all aspects of elementary and secondary education. It would maintain some federal oversight of state programs through the Education Department's ability to approve state plans for the use of federal funds, but would place strong restrictions on department actions and control.
Politicians and experts have screwed up the education system, good teachers are being worked to death, bad ones are allowed to skate without repercussion. The answer is less Federal government, cut the income tax and less this happen on a state and county level. The Feds keep talking about relinquishing control, but that they might is counter-intuitive.
Red River Private Property Protection - HR2130
The bill would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to sell to current and adjacent landowners the roughly 30,000 acres of federal land along the Red River, which forms part of the border between Texas and Oklahoma.
You can bet your ass David Scott votes against this in any form. Democrats believe in in keeping people off all land possible.
