Disappointed after a bill he had been working on for years failed to advance through Congress, Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-MA) informed reporters Tuesday that he had decided to submit his rejected legislation to the Canadian Parliament. Obviously, its not my first-choice legislative body, but theyre still a pretty good group of lawmakers and Id be proud to have them approve my resolution, said Markey, who admitted that his bill would affect fewer people if passed in Ottawa, but at least [hed] be getting it out there. Its a legitimate, respectable governmental branch, and Id rather see this bill become law in Canada than have it just sit here, unenacted, in my desk drawer. To be honest, trying to get this thing onto the floor of the U.S. Senate probably wasnt a very realistic goal in the first place. At press time, sources reported the senator was trimming down several long provisions in the bill and giving it a splashier title in hopes that the Texas state legislature might vote it into law.
