KC Star columnist Yael Abouhalkah weighs in on Kit Bond's boycott of committee markup of proposed cap and trade legislation:
In a pitiful display of "leadership," Republican[s] boycotted today's discussion of a climate bill in a U.S. Senate committee.
By failing to show up, the GOP senators showed they have no interest in trying to help the nation pass a responsible bill to control harmful emissions while not killing the U.S. economy.
Make no mistake: The GOP used a ruse by saying the economic analysis of the measure was not finished.
