I emailed my representative here in KY about this and his response was, "I don’t get lunch most days during Session." JFC How about writing a bill to ensure representatives are allowed to take a lunch break, instead of supporting one that takes away everyone else's right to one? What an asshole. By the way, his name is Daniel Fister, in case any other people stuck in this hellhole state want to look up his email address and let him know how you feel about how much of a twat he is.
Ask him how many bags of mulch, bags of cement mix, or flats of shingles he moves in an average day during session.
That motherfucker needs to get his ass kicked on live TV.
Trial by combat
Wow the guy works a whole 30-60 days per year 🙄
You should reply that in the next election you'll be voting for him to have a lot more free time.
This is the response you come up with 2 weeks later while in the shower.
Thank goodness for Lemmy then 😁
You're also not doing physical labor out in the heat of the day.
Just pull yourself up by your bootstrap in the morning and get the work done before the sun is up, sissy.
But don't you dare drilling that wall before i woke up and enjoyed my breakfast!
the one quick fix to this is to change the last day to run for office to the day after the general assembly session ends. I never was surprised when the really noxious evil bills showed up in committee when it was no longer possible for those people to lose their seats.
also I bet they're running unopposed. I really hate the kentucky democratic party. the wa6 they operate it's as though they think the republicans are doing a great job it would be a great inconvenience if they challenged them. it's been that way since I've been voting.
