First "Ted Trip" of the School of Public Service 2015 Session: On the "Fast Track"!

A steamy DC day in the high 90s can't stop SPS '15 from getting out into the city and taking advantage of all that it has to offer.  Today is the first one of what we call "Ted Trips" -- smaller group trips to events such as conferences, think tank panels, and Congressional hearings, selected and led by SPS and St. Albans faculty member Mr. Ted Eagles.  Today's first "Ted Trip" headed out bright and early to the U.S. Senate, where they will wait in line (another DC right of passage) with hopes of getting into the Senate Gallery for the cloture vote on the Trade Protection Authority legislation (aka the "fast track" bill).  Click HERE for a link to a Roll Call article describing the drama behind the Senate vote!
