As you may have heard, the furor over the Cash For Clunkers bill (which got tossed out) effectively placed our Senator Collins on "the outs" with many of us.
But things change - and politicians change even faster.
Here is the latest "good" news concerning how Senator Collins represents us. In spite of the fact that Geithner did get confirmed by the Senate in spite of being a tax cheat, I can report the following:
"...Even so, not everyone was convinced that the need for a speedy confirmation should trump concerns about the candidate. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, didn't buy Geithner's contention that he skipped paying some taxes because he was confused by the complexities of the tax code.
"They were described by the nominee himself as 'careless mistakes,'" Collins said in prepared remarks. "It has become clear to me that this is not merely a matter of complexity leading to mistakes, but of inexcusable negligence.""
Good show, Senator. Ye have been redeemed in the eyes of Mainers who believe integrity is more important than expediency and political gamesmanship.
