No to jobs. No to schools. No to the environment.

A great new bill was passed by the House a few days ago. It will provide money for badly needed new schools, which will create jobs (employing people to build these new schools, etc.) -- and it requires that the new schools be "green" construction, etc., so it's good for the environment (and stimulates businesses that provide "green" goods and services, which is again good for the economy). For more about the bill, see here.

The bill passed the House 275-155 (or 64%-36%), so it was quite popular, passing by a fairly wide margin.

But, of course, our own Rep. Carter voted against it.

Surprise, surprise.

Just one more reason to vote against John Carter in 2010.
