Republicans are said to be trading two job offers for one Democrats state Senate seat, the Washington Post reported, in perhaps the most bizarre twist yet in the states fight over Obamacare.
Virginia state Sen. Phillip Puckett will resign on Monday, giving Republicans at least temporary control of the state Senate just as Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, attempts to expand Medicaid in the state. Thanks to the deal, Pucketts daughter will be appointed to a judgeship and Puckett will become the deputy director of the state tobacco commission, three people familiar with the plan told the Post.
