Decisions, decisions …
Freshman Rep. Dave Reichert (R) of Washington state was either the first or second member of the Conscience Caucus. (That, bear in mind, was when the getting was good. You could get in just for expressing reservations about the president’s plan.) And tonight in the district he’s holding a townhall meeting on private accounts.
Reichert says he’s undecided about the president’s plan. But according to a February 9th piece in Roll Call says he “was the only Member in a targeted race to formally support the creation of private accounts.”
So it might be interesting to ask the congressman just what it was that made him go all wobbly on privatization.
