Rep. Brian P. Bilbray was not in Congress Wednesday so he could attend the swearing-in of his eponymous son as councilman in Imperial Beach, where the elder Bilbray was mayor many years ago. From the story in CityBeat’s Last Blog On Earth.
In all, the Republican from California’s 50th District missed 15 votes on Wednesday as the Democratic majority attempted to pass legislation in the last weeks before Republicans take over.
“I’m not making excuses,” Bilbray’s district director Christy Guerin tells CityBeat..”It’s not good to miss any vote…one vote can make a difference.”
