\"\"<\/a>SEIU Local 500 Political Director Mark McLaurin<\/a> has termed Senate President Mike Miller a “piece of excrement that calls himself the Senate President.” Not in my copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/em> but it’s one option. McLaurin loves a good feud like few others, so it’s not exactly shocking.<\/p>\n

Complaining about the failure of “my bill” is a double-edged sword because it highlights McLaurin’s ineffectiveness as well as Miller’s opposition. After all, he hasn’t been able to find a way to get the bill through the Democratic Senate even as lots of other liberal legislation passed.<\/p>\n
