The democrat senators should also go ahead and say they are for more pork projects rather than properly funding state government. Now that the list of pork projects is in the budget again I can’t wait to see what the senate approves next go around. We will probably be funding snail races in some town with a population of 12.
Been in the Legislature since ‘94, announce you’re not running again, and then run again? Ugh.
Term limits, anyone?
