Rep. Dylan Jordan’s bad day out in House Education

There was much seat squirming by State Representative Dylan Jordan in House Education today.

Probably because his rear-end was good and chapped about his final House bill of the session. As once again – you will find typical for his legislation – his bill was killed in committee because it’s a stupid idea that he spoke to no one about before he dumped it into the hopper.

His bill, HB 1133 to remove an enhanced permit as a condition of carrying a concealed pistol while on the campus of a public institution of higher education was widely opposed and shot up as many giving testimony feared college students would be if they passed his legislation.

Where are all of DJ Jazzy Jordan’s bills so far this session?

Every single bill failed… except for the one bill he withdrew.   The only thing left is a toothless resolution still pending which may find itself sharing the same fate.

And Rep. Jordan was not happy about his final bill being killed today. On a following bill that was being sent to the 41st day (HB1129), Jordan was just downright pissy.

He introduced a substitute “do pass” motion, which failed for lack of a second.  In response, like a petulant child, Dylan Jordan chirped up and said that “I didn’t realize I was in the Minnesota Education Committee.”   A point of order was called, and I’m told that after adjournment, Assistant Majority Leader Marty Overweg came up to have a talk with Jordan over his attitude.  (Jordan denies this on social media, but it was witnessed that there was a discussion with a member of leadership over the incident, maybe not him. The talking to may yet be coming).

Facing a crowded House primary in District 4 this year, Jordan’s record of failure after failure, coupled with acting like a child, is not going to provide him a record to run on.

In fact Dylan Jordan may have earned himself a record that he’s going to have to run from.  All the way back to his grandma’s house.
