It's the Fourth of July!
Which makes now the perfect time to remember this Republican congressman from New York:
"Rep. Felix Grucci from New York's 1st district. We probably don't have many fireworks company presidents in Congress. That's how some people might know your name. Tell us about the family business."
"Well, the family business is one hundred twenty-five years old and it's been a family business. We've been lighting up the skies and delivering the ooh's and the ah's to millions of people not only around the country but around the world. We’ve done the last five with presidential inaugural, the Brooklyn Bridge centennial, Statue of Liberty and the most recent is the millennium moment here in Washington when we lit up the skies of both the Washington Monument and the reflecting pool and the Lincoln Memorial. It was quite an exciting evening."
That was freshman Congressman Felix Grucci on C-SPAN in November 2000.
How long did Representative Grucci last in Congress?
And why think of him during the Fourth of July Weekend?
