Life of a Legislative Assistant
Brian February 26th, 2007
The Wytheville paper has this interesting article on Anthony Reedy, Delegate Anne B. Crockett-Stark’s legislative assistant.
In discussing the lighter moments of his job, he cited one constituent’s creative argument in opposition to the cockfighting bill.
Reedy said the constituent argued “the penalty doesn’t equal the crime and that when chickens go to processing plants, 100 percent of them die, but in a cockfight, only 50 percent die.”
I guess one cannot argue with the contradicted data.
All in all, though, it sounds Reedy enjoys his job and that life as a legislative assistant is never boring.
Del. Crockett-Stark is currently unopposed since the announced challenger, Bill Smith, has dropped out.
