Tribute to Bill Bartleman

November 17, 2010

He’s interviewed a president of the United States, and he’s ridden a hot-air balloon over the Ohio River. He’s become Kentucky’s longest-running legislative reporter. He’s led quite a life of accomplishment, and I wish him well in the next stage of his career.

That’s why today I am announcing that I will join the Republican Leadership in the House in support of a moratorium on earmarks in the 112th Congress
