The Depth of the Depravity that
Republican and Democrat Leadership has Sunk
Can easily be summed up in the rejection of one single bill, HB 405 by Rep. George Faught. This bill, rejected by the House Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget, had one simple goal; to chop spending on trinkets and promotional items, so called "swag".
Yeah, it was only $30 million dollars they say, enough for a $500 pay raise for teachers, but it was 3% of the budget short fall and hundreds of other small budget items could also be found. The final committee vote was five to twenty one..
