Sure, they make a big deal about passing a random “tax cut” here or there, but they always raise another tax in order to keep things “revenue neutral” (i.e. to keep the pork flowing).

It's going to renovate a FORMER children's home campus to make way for the state chapter of Future Farmers of America! Man...and to think you mistook it for something crazy like helping needy children. Do they bring in boatloads of jobs like...um...the FFA? Didn't think so. Stupid kids. You sir, have been served!

This will not only locate jobs to our area, but will bring thousands of people to Clinton each year for meetings and events. Unlike most of the spending items you mention, we went after this money for, in my opinion, the right reasons. Rep.

Rick's concern is powerbrokering/ass kissing to get ahead in his tiny kingdom. Would he ever push for change at the ballot box to elimenate the slugs in Columbia if there weren't something in it for him? Change in this form elimenates/exposes slugs for what they are and the deals they broker. #3 No, and why do you assume that a slug asskisser like Rick Beltram would write something like this?
