DINO Senator Kurita Still Working for the GOP
From R. Neal at KnoxViews comes a report that turncoat Sen. Rosalind Kurita (DINO) actually conspires with Republicans to thwart the plans of Democrats. Now why would we be inclined to believe such a thing about this Tennessee Democrat?
Senator Kurita, the darling of the rabidly conservative Tennessee Senate, wonders why she can't get any bills passed in the Democratic House.
Sources also tell R. Neal that "Kurita allegedly told senior members of the Governor's staff and at least one cabinet member that she won't vote for the Governor's Schools First cigarette tax increase because she isn't sponsoring the bill. This is apparently not the first time she has complained about not being chosen to sponsor the bill."
Kurita has long advocated a cigarette tax increase.
We're not sure if Senator Kurita's primary concern is Senator Kurita or the welfare of the Republican Party, but either way she makes a lousy Democrat and an even lousier public servant.
Don't miss the damning details at KnoxViews.
