Civitas reports that Sen. Kay Hagan voted for cloture on a House appropriations bill that included “language mandating that states, counties and municipalities collectively bargain with public safety employee labor unions.”
Hagan’s confusion on the issue was discussed here last month, including assurances that she would NOT vote for cloture on Dingy Harry’s Senate bill.
