On October 30th, Senator
Roland Burris [D-IL] introduced 20 new bills; all of which are
related to chemicals that are, or may be toxic. This seems very
odd... Making so many new bills is something quite visible; he knows
his future will be haunted by Blagojevich, regardless of the fact
that he was found to get his position without any signs of bribes. I
like to think Senator Burris is a good man. As far as I could find,
he did nothing wrong; he shares many of my political view points, so
I can't complain about him. However if any one could explain why so
many bills for related things were introduced all on one day
(especially considering he is a 1st year senator) I'd
really like to know. The only posable link I could find is an
article from the tribune stating that Burris now matters because he
is a vote for healthcare, and votes in the senate are very important.
