| Take two. Leonard Lance had the opportunity to make up for his vote against women getting fair pay a few weeks ago, and took the opportunity to change is stance. Lance and Chris Smith provided two of the three Republican votes for the bill. Frank LoBiondo once again took a ride with Scott Garrett and Rodney Frelinghuysen opposing fair pay for women. I'm sure women are very thankful for the lack of support:
Democrats are in blue, and Republicans are in red. Frank Pallone voted for the bill on Jan 9, but did not vote this time. Both Senators Menendez and Lautenberg supported the legislation in the Senate. Capitol Quickies shed some light on why they needed a second vote in the House: The House of Representatives on Tuesday had to vote a second time on the bill, after the Senate broke out from the bill a more controversial, related proposal the House had lumped in that would allow women to get compensatory and punitive damages if the equal-pay law is violated. It now heads to President Obama's desk for signature. |
