Congressman Brian Higgins lodged his complaints about the inner workings of Congress in November when announcing his plans to resign.
Higgins, the New York Democrat who has served since 2005, called the pace of Washington “slow and frustrating” and lamented that Congress is no longer working for the American people.
It was time to leave, according to Higgins, but not at that exact moment. Higgins will depart Congress in February to start a new gig, as the director of Shea’s Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, but will remain in office in the interim.
