COP on the Hill:

Stories from the week of July 21, 2017

Olympia doesn’t need your help, Congresswoman: Karma always helps. I was in a bit of a hurry to catch the train, so I left the House complex via the Longworth building. In the crowded elevator, I was standing next to Cwoman McMorris-Rogers (WA-R & part of leadership). I acknowledged her (easier, since she is also 6 feet tall).

When she also went out the same door, I introduced myself and made my 10th amendment pitch. She pushed back. I told her Colorado and the others were doing just fine without Federal advice. ‘Olympia doesn’t need your help Congresswoman.’ We parted ways.
