Youngstown John Boccieri is up to his usual shenanigans this week. Not only did he sign on to co-sponsor the inherently anti-American Employee Free Choice Act – also known as Card Check – last week, but now he has voted to block a bill that would have helped the government recoup the taxpayer-funded bonuses AIG executives received!
