Congressman Chris Gibson’s willingness to cave in on tax hikes to avert the fiscal cliff kostenlos pferde spiele herunterladen.Another Republican signals that he’s willing to consider tax increases in dealing with the fiscal cliff. This time, it’s Capital Region and Hudson Valley Congressman Chris Gibson trecker games download for free. He signed the no tax hike pledge when he ran for Congress two years ago in the 20th District and won.
Representative Gibson now says he signed his pledge in 2010 when he was a candidate for Congress bubble spiele kostenlos downloaden. But the pledge was made to the people of New York’s 20th congressional district. Since then, the new Census mandated a redrawing of the district lines which included changing the number of the district Gibson was in youtube video herunterladen ohne app. So his office now claims: “Congressman Gibson doesn’t plan to re-sign it for the 19th Congressional District, which he now represents (the pledge is to your constituents of a numbered district).”
This comical maneuver should make Representative Gibson a laughing-stock microsoft office 2010 kostenlosen vollversion deutsch chip. What if the New York legislature had kept his district number the same? Would he then be bound by it?
About half of his new constituents were also in his old 20th district ios 13.3 herunterladen. Doesn’t his pledge to them still hold?
The technical loophole that Gibson claims to have found doesn’t even hold up. The ATR pledge, which all but six House Republicans had signed in the run-up to this November’s election is addressed “to the taxpayers of the ____ district,” with candidates expected to fill in the blank.
But the next line says the pledge is also made “to the American people.” Grover Norquist of ATR says the pledge was worded in that way to account for the fact that district numbers would change.
