The following has to be the most embarrassing example of Maybe Mabey’s accidental “leadership” (so far) this legislative session. From this morning’s Las Vegas Review Journal…
“Assembly Republicans were caught with egg on their faces Thursday when they voted against a bill that they wanted to support. All 15 Republicans voted against Assembly Bill 331 that calls for water suppliers, such as the Southern Nevada Water Authority, to encourage conservation by establishing prices for water that induce users to cut down on water use.
“…According to (Minority Leader Garn) Mabey, one of his members acts as a secretary in each committee and takes notes on bills. The notes are given to all Republicans before they vote on the Assembly floor. Somehow, he said, members received the ‘wrong notes.’ After being informed the Republicans got their notes mixed up, Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, asked: ‘Don’t they read the bills?’ ‘We apologize,’ Mabey said in an interview.”
Once again, Mabey-led Republicans look like world-class boobs. Thanks to their Fearless Leader, they look like (a) they don’t care about water conservation in the DESERT, (b) don’t read the bills they vote on, and (c), are weak wimps for going around and apologizing for doing something stupid.
I’d love to have that tri-fecta working for me in the next election cycle if I was a Democrat, wouldn’t you? Thanks, Garn.
