It seems that a number of House members, most of whom are either retiring or lost their bid for reelection this past fall, have decided that they job they were elected to do, serve as a representative to their district in the 111th Congress of the United States of America, is not worth their time. In all, 1/6th of the entire House have been missing in action this week during the lame duck session where (unfortunately) a lot of business seems to be getting done.
The only member of the New Jersey delegation, who is coincidentally also the only loser of that group, playing hooky from his duty is very-soon-to-be-former NJ3 Congressman John Adler. Congressman Adler missed the vote on continuing resolutions to fund the federal government into next year, and on a food safety bill.
Congressman Adler, you only have a few more days to cast votes and make decisions against the best interests of your district and county. Is this really how you want to go out? Being a no-show?
