A Republican Congresswoman who has been “missing” for the past six months has finally been found.
Rep. Kay Granger has served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.
However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.
A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.
[…]We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.
The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility.
Except for hiding her condition from her constituents. Do you want her voting on the Spending Bill when she doesn’t even remember where she is?
(To be fair, it would be hard to tell you’re not in Congress when you’re surrounded by your fellow Alzheimer’s patients.)
That might be what he meant, good on her family for seeing she has dementia and getting her away from her job
But not telling anyone so she keeps her income, or her family does. Since she won’t be remember what’s missing.
