[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 4579532, member: 54375"] He cosponsored it. BOSTON – U.S. Sen. Ed Markey is a lead sponsor of the Green New Deal, a resolution mapping out a path to address climate change and fuel a greener economy, but he won’t be voting in favor of the proposal when it hits the U.S. Senate floor Tuesday. Dismissing the vote scheduled by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as a “sham vote” that seeks to “make a mockery of the debate in the Senate on climate action,” Markey said Monday that he and other Democrats will vote “present” Tuesday as a way of rebuffing McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. It could also allow Democrats to avoid a vote that could reveal rifts within the party. “They are calling this vote without any hearings, without any expert testimony, without any true discussion about the cost of climate inaction and the massive potential for clean energy job creation,” Markey said at his Boston office.
