GOP Lawmakers Say They’re Furious After Discovering What Was ‘Hidden’ Inside Budget They Voted For | TheBlaze.com: If you are going to vote in favor of a piece of legislation, make sure you read the bill first.



That’s the lesson GOP lawmakers in New York reportedly learned after
they voted in favor of a proposed state budget that includes millions of
dollars in funding for the state’s hastily-passed gun control law known
as the SAFE Act.


Hidden in the budget is a provision that permits the reappropriation
of $28 million to fund a gun database and $3.2 million in new funding
for SAFE Act “staff,” the New York Post reports.


One GOP senator, who asked to remain anonymous, said lawmakers were
“told there was no dining for it.” He said he would’ve voted against it
if he knew about the SAFE Act funding.
