Senator Boycotts Kevin Richardson Testimony

Following the continuous congressional hearings recently featuring celebrities, Sen. George Voinovich R-Ohio, says enough is enough. He boycotted Thursday’s hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works clean air subcommittee to protest Backstreet Boys star Kevin Richardson’s appearance. “It’s just a joke to think that this witness can provide members of the United States Senate with information on important geological and water quality issues,” Voinovich said Wednesday. “We’re either serious about the issues or we’re running a sideshow.”
