WASHINGTON — With bombs dropping all over Washington, you couldn’t blame Rep. Elizabeth Esty for hunkering down in her office and quietly packing up mementoes one-by-one for her planned exit from Congress come January. But hunkering she is not. Esty is beaver-busy getting legislation passed and adding to her office wall collection of bills enacted and the presidential pens that signed them into law. There are 13 on the wall now, and soon No. 14 will join them: The Helping Veterans Exposed to Burn Pits Act of 2018. Some of Esty’s previous bills may seem a bit less than sea-changing — encouraging careers for women in NASA, women’s entrepreneurship, to name a few. But the burn-pit bill could be different.
