Pizza Quorum Narrowly Averted
The JFC Republicans have been accused repeatedly of breaking open meeting rules, most publicly by Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser. The GOPers vehemently deny the charges, but hunger nearly drove them to a violation tonight.
During a break in the action, the Republican members had some pies delivered from Pizza Extreme to the conference room. Committee senators were already in the conference room, so when Assembly members stampeded in to grab a slice, they had to be held back by frightened but dutiful staffers to avoid a quorum.
“We averted it, so Rep. Kreuser can rest easy,” remarked one GOP staffer, still a little shaken by the memory of the horde of hungry lawmakers.
