I am running this code from the govkit gem

#govkit / lib / gov_kit / open_congress / bill.rb

     def self.bills_in_the_news_this_week
        url = construct_url("bills_in_the_news_this_week", {})
        if (result = make_call(url))
          bills = parse_results(result)
          return bills
        else
          nil
        end
      end

def self.parse_results(result)

        bills = []
        result["bills"].each do |bill|

          these_recent_blogs = bill["recent_blogs"]
          blogs = []

          if these_recent_blogs
            these_recent_blogs.each do |trb|
              blogs << BlogPost.new(trb)
            end
          end

          bill["recent_blogs"] = blogs


          these_recent_news = bill["recent_news"]
          news = []
          if these_recent_news
            these_recent_news.each do |trb|
              news << NewsPost.new(trb)
            end
          end

          bill["recent_news"] = news

          these_co_sponsors = bill["co_sponsors"]
          co_sponsors = []
          if these_co_sponsors
            these_co_sponsors.each do |tcs|
              co_sponsors << Person.new(tcs)
            end
          end

          bill["co_sponsors"] = co_sponsors


          bill["sponsor"] = Person.new(bill["sponsor"]) if bill["sponsor"]


          bills << Bill.new(bill)
        end
        bills
      end

getting a good result that has an array of bills, each bill is a Hash (27 element(s))

but parse results turns result into an array of  #<GovKit::OpenCongress::Bill:0x000001055496a0> with no values.
