While the following incident probably won’t make its way into Roll Call’s next installment of Heard on the Hill, it is certainly newsworthy – especially if you reside in North Carolina’s 11th district.
Amidst a happy hour last night at a well known Capitol Hill establishment that serves as a popular after-work destination for Hill staffers, a patron confidently boasts “taxes, taxes, taxes,
I have no problem with more taxes, bring ‘em on.” While this
sentiment is prevalent amongst the Democrat majority in congress, it may be of interest to voters in North Carolina’s 11th
district that this proclamation came from the mouth of none other than Congressman Heath Shuler’s Chief of Staff.
