We have the second Democrat in the House to leave:

John Tilley has accepted a job in the Bevin administration.

I'm reminded of when a Democratic governor repeatedly offered sitting Republican members of the Senate state jobs in an attempt to flip the chamber. Now, the shoe is on the other foot, and, Democrats such as Stumbo are crying foul.

Here is Stumbo on Tilley taking a state job:

The gutting of the power of unions is a cornerstone of the Republican Party. Without question this is a party of brutal management of cheap labor.

In turning a blind eye to illegal immigration it could be said that the Democratic party is the other party of cheap labor.

One more such departure and control of the House of Representatives is potentially at stake, if the Republicans sweep all the special elections.
