Update #2: The article has been corrected in a timely fashion. The statement incorrectly attributed to Congressman Walz actually slithered out from between the lips of Second District Congressman John Kline, who indeed voted against the bill.
We preserved the original copy in the screen shot to the right, so our readers understand what the original flaw was in the article..[end update #2].
Mr. Google's handy news alert just sent us this item, Equal Pay May Be One Vote Away. In the article, CBN's Jennifer Mishon gets it very wrong about Congressman Walz's position on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Update: Congressman Walz's district director confirms the inaccuracy of the CBN report. [end update]
Mishon writes:
The House passed The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last week despite warnings from critics that the bill has unintended consequences.
Rep. Tim Walz , who opposes the bill argued, "Especially in this economic climate we cannot afford to enable endless litigation of potentially staggering record keeping requirements on employers."
As we noted last week in Walz votes to give workers more power in the workplace, Walz voted for the bill, and thus we're puzzled exactly which Representative said that. We've contacted the CBN informing the network of its error. Somewhere out there, a Republican is missing his inglorious 15 seconds for that statement.
