Published August 20, 2019
After SPIN! "Question to John Hood and Chris Fitzsimon – File this one under “If you don’t go along, you’ll have to move.” Ray Russell is a freshman Democrat in the House. A few days ago Russell’s administrative assistant was told by House Rules Chair David Lewis that Russell’s office is being moved to make way for another legislator. His new office is in the basement of the legislative building was formerly a copy machine center in an area of the building with no windows. Russell has bucked House leadership and assumes the move is retribution for not going along with leadership. Have you ever heard of moves like this being made so late in a session? What do you think about this?"
