"Convivial gatherings, such as the Scotch tasting, which bring together members from all parties, have proved to be quite helpful in softening members' attitudes towards one another," said Milliken.So... this "taxpayer-funded frat party" is actually an invaluable team-building exercise? Seriously?
"And it has been quite gratifying to see partisanship set aside and friendships begin, whatever else may occur in the chamber. This can only be a benefit to their working relationship."
Milliken hosted the blind taste test Tuesday evening, the bill coming out of his $170,000 annual hospitality budget.Well, Petey... it's a tough life... but I guess somebody's gotta do it, huh?
