Shadow Campaign for Treasurer

Filed in National by on July 15, 2010 128 Comments

You may not know it, but there is a jobs bill in Dover that can’t seem to get a vote.  Speaker Gilligan has been dragging his feet on putting the jobs bill on the floor.  I am a little amazed by that fact, since it is a jobs bill that doesn’t even have a fiscal […]
