Hey, he's got his book deal and a cushy new job. Why should he care about Massachusetts families who are hurting: they are not the out of state conservatives who funded his campaign and will try to push him through again in two years. As to health care, Senator Brown continues his long march to the Republican villages of Too Bad for You and Sorry, I Can't Help You. Link to H.R. 4213. DNC email:
U.S. Senator Scott Brown voted Wednesday against legislation that would extend jobless benefits such as unemployment insurance and COBRA subsidies for families in Massachusetts who are struggling to find work. Senator Brown's vote could have cost many families in Massachusetts unemployment insurance and health care, further hurting already-struggling folks in these difficult times.
Please find below a statement from DNC Northeast Regional Press Secretary Michael Czin:
"It's bad enough that Republicans spent eight years backing the policies that led to the current economic crisis, but now Republicans in the Senate like Senator Brown are slamming the door on Bay Staters by voting against extending unemployment benefits and health care assistance for jobless workers.
