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.”
