Steve Bousquet reports about a nasty catfight developing between Reps. Janet Long and Ellyn Bogdanoff: Rep. Janet Long, D-Seminole, filed a complaint with the speaker’s office Tuesday accusing Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, of making “threats of harm and retaliation” against her that violate House rules by impugning the reputation of the House.
