Kim’s latest distortion of Quirk-Silva’s record centers around legislation requiring bills be in print and online for 72 hours to allow greater public scrutiny.  Quirk-Silva’s sole vote on the legislation opposed exempting the open government legislation from the existing open government process, a procedural vote that called for suspending legislative rules.
