Jeff Flake is a prime example of the type of person that would leave a company and then try to sabotage as many things in the company on the way out.
For example, there was a supervisor at a company that I worked at that left seemingly out of nowhere. The way that we ended up finding out one day is when we went to get some things out of a supply closet and he had broken the key off in the keyhole so nobody could open it.
His last act at the company was to cause a problem for the company.
Now, Jeff Flake on his way out could try to do something to save face with the people that he has burdened his nonsense with. Is he going to come in on his last day with a fruit basket? Nope.
Instead it seems he is going to come in with a basket full of dead black roses.

Outgoing Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake will soon co-introduce legislation to tax carbon dioxide emissions, according to news reports.
Flake, who will not be returning to Congress next year, and Delaware Sen. Chris Coon, a Democrat, will introduce their carbon tax bill as soon as Wednesday. The bill is unlikely to go anywhere with just two weeks left in the current legislative session.
Flake and Coon’s bill will be the Senate companion to bipartisan House carbon tax legislation introduced in November. The Washington Times first reported Flake’s carbon tax bill Wednesday, and The Hill later confirmed it.
Like the House bill, Flake’s carbon tax bill would tax emissions at $15 per ton — a rate that would rise $10 per year, hitting $100 per ton in 2030. All of the revenues raised through the tax will get rebated to households to compensate for higher energy costs.
