Bill Huizenga Votes Against Aviation Safety

Bill Huizenga just showed once again how out-of-touch he is with Michigan – this time by voting against a bipartisan aviation safety bill. 

Last night Huizenga cast the deciding vote against the ROTOR Act, bipartisan legislation which “would have required planes to carry a type of tracking technology that federal investigators determined could have helped avoid a midair collision over the Potomac River last year that killed 67 people.”

Before Huizenga cast his inexplicable vote, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board told reporters“How many more people need to die for us to decide that action needs to be taken?”

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Bill Huizenga continues to put Michigan last.”
