Markey won’t deliver answers

Congresswoman Betsy Markey has time to play UPS union member and get some TV face time:
But she has no time to answer constituent questions or questions from me. Questions that I have posed to Markey’s office that have gone unanswered:
- Before the Cap and Trade vote I sent several emails asking which way she was voting. Neither she nor her office ever responded, but apparently she did speak with Denver Post columnist Susan Greene.
- After her yes vote on ObamaCare, I asked her to come on my show to explain her vote. Her spokesperson Ben Marter responded once but never with any available times for an interview.
- Immediately after Mexican President Calderon’s address to Congress I sent an email to Marter asking if Congresswoman Markey stood and applauded when Calderon criticized the new Arizona law on illegal immigration. I also asked if she supported his characterization of Mexico’s violent crime being traced to the US and the sunset of the “assault weapons ban.”
- On Saturday, I sent an email asking her position on legislation requiring states to allow collective bargaining for first responders, especially considering that both Fort Collins and Weld County voters have rejected such measures.
Markey delivers for UPS but not answers for voters. Thanks to WhoSaidYouSaid for keeping an eye on Betsy Markey.
