Ahead of a press conference at which House Democratic leaders planned to tout their legislative accomplishments, the office of Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) released a list belittling the achievements of the current Congress. According to the list, nearly half of the bills that have been passed this year and signed into law merely renamed federal property, such as post offices. Another piece of legislation authorizes the building of a road in Missouri. Of the remaining 13 laws passed, according to the list sent out by Boehner spokesman Brian Kennedy, five bills extended existing laws or were also passed last year, and eight bills were “co-sponsored by Republicans or passed without opposition.” |
