New York Lawmakers vote, then read, a bill :: 05/10/2014
"If you are going to vote in favor of a piece of legislation, make sure you read the bill first.
That's the lesson GOP lawmakers in New York reportedly learned after they voted in favor of a proposed state budget that includes millions of dollars in funding for the state's hastily-passed gun control law known as the SAFE Act.
Hidden in the budget is a provision that permits the reappropriation of $28 million to fund a gun database and $3.2 million in new funding for SAFE Act "staff," the New York Post reports .
One GOP senator, who asked to remain anonymous, said lawmakers were "told there was no dining for it." He said he would've voted against it if he knew about the SAFE Act funding."
Legislators voting without reading the Bill? Preposterous, we think.
