If the eight GOP members had voted with their party, the bill would have failed.
Our representative, Marcy Kaptur (who consistently rails against high energy bills in this region), voted in favor of the bill, despite the costs it will impose on all her constituents. Lisa Renee at Glass City Jungle has Kaptur's press release on the vote. Rep. Bob Latta voted no and his statement on the vote is here.
Also voting yes was Rep. John Dingell who'd previous said of this bill:
"Nobody in this country realizes that cap and trade is a tax, and it’s a great big one."
Thanks Kaptur and Dingell for voting to raise our taxes!
(The eight Republicans who helped pass the bill: Mack-CA, Castle-DE, Kirk-IL, Lance-NJ, LoBiondo-NJ, McHugh-NY, Reichert-WA, and Smith-NJ.)

Folks are chatting and blogging Micheal Jackson. They won't talk this until higher energy rates smack them in the face ! sad but true
Kaptur got her bribe and Dingell(berry) got?
Folks, be sure to remember these two names in the future...
