After losing power Tuesday, Gates left his home via his private jet Wednesday night and traveled to Orlando, Fla., sparking outrage among many who believe the freshman lawmaker should have remained in his district.
It really would have been nice to have a state representative helping on the ground, working at a warming center, packing food, etc. rather than immediately (flying) off on a private plane when the going got tough, said Brian Walz, one of Gates constituents. My neighbors didnt get to do that when her pipe burst.
It seems that this asshole lied about his reason for going to Orlando
