The Brooks Saga Continues

From the LVRJ: Assemblyman Steven Brooks did an about-face Tuesday and decided not to take a leave of absence from the state Legislature, Democratic leaders said.
The surprising development was announced by Assembly Majority Leader William Horne and Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick who met with Brooks for 45 minutes in his office.
"He says he's ready to come and participate," Horne said at a news conference after the meeting.
Earlier Tuesday, Brooks had told his attorney and legislative leaders he would agree to take a leave of up to 60 days so he could take care of his medical issues.
Both Horne, of Las Vegas, and Kirkpatrick, of North Las Vegas, said they believed Brooks needed time to take care of unspecified medical issues. Horne said Brooks insisted Tuesday he is ready to serve, although on Sunday he approached Democratic leaders and asked to take a break.
Kirkpatrick said she has no concerns about serving alongside Brooks, who was arrested in Las Vegas on Jan. 19 on allegations that he threatened her. That arrest has led to the ongoing controversy surrounding his participation in the Legislature.
"I absolutely feel safe," Kirkpatrick said.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/brooks-to-take-60-day-leave-from-nevada-assembly-189849111.html
Brooks is playing the Democratic "leadership" like chumps.  First, the Democrats are scared of him and now they have no problems with him? Then Brooks and the Democrats agree he takes a 60 day leave of absence and now that doesn't happen.  And before you had Democrats condemning Brooks and say he is mentally ill and then they defend him and say he is misunderstood.
I don't know who is more crazy: Brooks or the Nevada Democrats?
There needs to be background checks to be a Democrat in Nevada.
