So, looks like next week will be another 500 billion in omnibus spending. As of today, it seems the majority of Dems have not seen nor read the bill and the Republicans requested to see it two weeks ago yet Pelosi and gang have not responded to them at all. Republicans have further asked that the bill be posted online for the American people to be able to review, but again, "no joy" from the Democrats.
Partisan politics, indeed.

Seems there is a rider in the bill that was put in by Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) would allow for a state legislature to accept the federal funding should a governor reject it, "thus overriding state laws and constitutions in manner that probably violates the U.S. Constitution".
Sweet!!!!
Further, I find this to be normal: "Clyburn suggested at a roundtable discussion in Columbia that these governors oppose the so-called stimulus spending because they don’t like black people"
