The Fighting 29th All about New York's 29th Congressional District http://www.fighting29th.com/node/4399/atom/feed 2007-08-05T10:17:19-04:00 The House Finishes Up http://www.fighting29th.com/2007/08/the-house-finishes-up.html 2007-08-05T10:17:19-04:00 2007-08-05T10:17:19-04:00 Rottenchester The House finally adjourned for its August recess this morning a little after 1 A.M. During the last 14-hour session, Randy Kuhl voted against the Energy Bill as well as against a bill that would have extended and increased tax incentives for the use of renewable energy. Both of those bills passed the House.

Kuhl voted for an extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which included a 6-month sunset provision. This bill was passed after the House failed to pass a bill less to the Bush Administration's liking on Friday. Kuhl voted against that bill. The AP has a pretty good story about the new FISA provisions.

Finally Kuhl, and almost everyone else in the House, voted for the Defense appropriation, which includes $6 million in his earmarks.
