A Republican Congresswoman who has been “missing” for the past six months has finally been found.
Rep. Kay Granger has served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.
However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.
A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.
[…]We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.
The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility.
Overall, some has to sign off on her going into the facility. Assuming it’s one of those locked in so they don’t wander out type places. You would have to make that person some sort of mandatory reporter. Which I guess you could, but you would then essentialy require them to dig into a person’s past, when currently thier job is just to ascertain the person’s current mental state. Really this is the job of the legislature to track if she is showing up for work and declare her chair empty if not. Oregon has a rule that if you miss ten days of session in a row, you can’t run again. This was to prevent walk outs. But it would also serve your purpose. But state legislatures aren’t in session most of the time. So you would still get a big gap. But if it is not in session, the person’s absence doesn’t really matter.
Did you not read any of the other comments before replying with this, or the article, or even the title? Im confused how you think this person is some random lady. Everything you said has already been addressed by multiple people.
I was not aware of a requirement to read all other comments before replying to one. If your offended that I did that, well, good luck in life.
Ah yes, choosing willful ignorance. Smart.
Thanks, my mom says so too. Though it really was sarcasm.
